Chico Dulce
Chico Dulce is a 6-year-old who has carved out a modest but genuine pattern at a single track. The horse has won 2 of its 22 races overall—a win rate of roughly 1 in every 11 outings—but the headline is Lingfield Park, where it has developed into a course specialist. Lingfield is where Chico Dulce belongs: it has won 2 of 12 races there, compared to nothing from 10 attempts elsewhere. That's the difference between a horse that knows a track and one that doesn't. The second win came most recently on 4 November 2025, after a gap of nearly ten months since the first success in June 2024, suggesting the horse is still capable of finding the winner's enclosure even after a long drought.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Ground conditions matter. Chico Dulce's record on normal ground stands at 2 wins from 11 races—an 18% return—which is nearly twice the overall rate, so firm or soft ground doesn't suit it as well. The sweet spot for distance appears to be between 1m1f and 1m2f, where it has won 1 of 6 races. Recent form has stalled; the horse hasn't won in its last six runs, though it has picked up places (a third and two fifths among the most recent outings), showing it hasn't lost all sharpness. Michael Madgwick's yard at Denmead, Hampshire, has had a quiet season overall—just 1 winner—so Chico Dulce's two victories represent meaningful contributions to that tally. The partnership with regular rider William Carson has yielded no wins from five rides together, which hints that the jockey may not be ideal for this particular horse.
For the yard looking for value, this is a horse worth following back to Lingfield on normal ground. It won't set the betting ring alight, but it has demonstrated it can win at that level when conditions align.
