Key Points
- It’s Saturday and I have another Lucky 15 for you!
- All of the horses tipped in this article can be watched on ITV Racing!
- I have switched things up and this is my first win only Lucky 15!
It’s Saturday and that means that I have a Lucky 15 for you, and today we’ll look at the ITV Racing from Doncaster and Cheltenham. For the first time since I introduced my Lucky 15s, I have opted for the win only option rather than going each way. I think the four horses I’ve selected all have rock solid chances and hopefully they can do the business for us! And don’t worry, I’ll be publishing a standard betting tip for Saturday’s action for my regular punters a little later this morning.
Of course, you may just be discovering my content for the first time and if so, I hope you enjoy it! I’ll quickly introduce myself - I’m RacingGav and I’m the resident horse racing expert here at Betting.co.uk. This is where I post my
free horse racing tips, but I do much more than just that, as I also produce big race trends, educational guides and racing-related news too.
If you are more of a casual bettor who is looking to learn more about the sport, be sure to check out my other content. To name a couple, I have recently covered topics like
trainers to follow in December
and
different types of horse racing headgear, but there are many others to enjoy too.

William Hill has stand out odds for our Lucky 15!
At the time of writing, William Hill is offering the
best horse racing odds
for our Lucky 15 horses, with combined odds of 79.15/1 across the four of them. As well as that, there is a superb sign up offer for new customers available. If you deposit and bet bet £10, you’ll get £40 in free bets. Well worth opening an account for!
All four of these horses have a fantastic chance of winning!
As a general rule, you’ll find me searching for value deeper in the market rather than tipping at the top end. But today, I have made an exception. When I looked through the ITV Racing, these four horses stood out. So much so that I’ve opted for a win-only Lucky 15 today.
Katiera @ 4/7 - She is rated between 8lb and 29lb superior to her rivals
Katiera came back this season with a win at Wetherby over an inadequate 2m trip. It was a match between her and Golden Ace, but the latter scoped dirty after the race, which likely slowed her down, and she went on to win at Newcastle next time out. Meanwhile, Katiera stepped up to 2m 3.5f, but she only managed fourth place at Ascot in a competitive race won by Wodhooh. To be seen at her best, Katiera wants 3m and she finally gets that here.
In a race where she is rated between 8lb to 29lb superior to her rivals, and only giving away a maximum of 4lb, all she needs to do is run to her rating to be a very tough nut to crack here. I see no reason why she won’t run to do exactly that, and she should collect a very nice pot of £20,000+ for team Skelton here.
Conman John @ 13/8 - A winner for us at the October meeting
I tipped Conman John at The October Meeting, and he obliged in fantastic style to take his record to 2/2 over Hurdles. Based on that form, he sets the standard in this race. If anything, the stiffer stamina test of running on the New Course rather than the Old Course will bring out a better version of him.
I have made no secret of how much I love this horse, and
I've tipped him for the Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle
(Grade 1) at the 2026 Cheltenham Festival. To be a serious player in that Grade 1 race, he needs to win this one in good style, and I think he will. Over the same C&D that he will encounter in March, this looks the perfect stepping stone for Conman John.
Lanesborough @ 10/3 - A very progressive type who can continue to improve
The Ben Pauling stable have always spoken highly of Lanesborough, and after his first three starts for them over Hurdles, you could be forgiven for wondering why he has 2024 form figures of 557. But the fact is, that when he switched to Handicaps in January this year, the penny dropped and we started to see the real Lanesborough. His three Handicap runs to date have produced much more impressive form figures of 221.
His latest win at Warwick was pretty emphatic, considering he won easily by five lengths. As you’d expect, the handicapper has had his say, raising him 8lb from 108 to 116. But with the way Lanesborough was progressing, and with another summer under his belt, he could easily come back bigger, stronger and ready to progress further. After his schooling session on Thursday, Ben Jones (jockey) reported that
“he looked sharp and well”
and Ben can get them ready at home.
Siog Geal @ 7/2 - After a pipe opener at Carlisle, she can bounce back
Last, but not least, we have Siog Geal for the Fergal O’Brien team. The noises coming out of the stable before her Bumper debut suggested she was a very talented mare. A former Point-To-Point winner, she placed second in two hot Bumpers at Aintree and Cheltenham, with the latter being in Listed company. Her first two Hurdle runs were over trips of around 2m, but it was clear she needed further.
Connections stepped her up to 2m 4.5f for a Grade 2 Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle at Newbury in March, where I tipped her to win, and thankfully she obliged. To me, she looked like a horse just idling in front, with plenty more to find if she needed it. Last month, Siog Geal made her first appearance at Carlisle, and she ran a very solid race to finish third, beaten by just 1.5 lengths. To me, she shaped like she would come on for the run, and the fact she was sent off at 13/2 suggests similar. Back against the Mares, with that run under her belt, and carrying just 10st 10lb around this stiff track, I think she’ll take a huge step forward and should take a lot of beating.
Can we land the full house for today’s Lucky 15?
Ironically, and completely unintentionally, the odds for the horses I selected gradually increase as we get deeper into the bet. So in theory, we should get off to a flyer, and then it’s a case of sustaining that through the latter races. I’d certainly agree as far as Kateira goes, she really should be winning her race. I’d be disappointed if Conman John was beaten, as I hold him in very high regard. The other two run in Handicaps, and there is always a risk of them bumping into one, but I think they are both open to plenty of progress, and could easily be the ones that the others bump into on the day.
I think we have a fantastic chance of landing the full house with these four horses. We only need the first two to win, we’ll have over half of our stake returned. The first three horses winning would see us triple our initial outlay, which would be a fantastic result. Of course, the ideal scenario is one where all four win, which is our ultimate goal after all. As the old saying goes, you’ve got to be in it to win it, and I’m in!
