Ashford Hill

Ashford Hill is a five-year-old with modest credentials but a clear favourite track. Across 26 races, the horse has won just twice and finished in the money five times more — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 12 races — yet both victories have come at Lingfield Park, where it has raced 11 times. That record of 2 wins from 11 attempts at one course (18%) suggests the horse genuinely suits the place, whether it is the layout, the ground, or simply a lucky combination of circumstances. The most recent win came on 24 January 2026, now seven months ago.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Ashford Hill races mostly in Class 6 company, the lower tier of the sport, and prefers normal ground conditions. On standard going it has won 2 of 15 races (13%), a modestly better win rate than its overall 8%, though the sample is small. Jockey Isobelle Chalmers has ridden the horse 16 times with 2 wins, a respectable 12% partnership record that suggests a decent working relationship between rider and mount. Trainer Dominic Ffrench Davis, based at Lambourn in Berkshire, has been reasonably productive this season with 12 winners sent out from the yard.

The horse has struggled recently. Its last six races show no wins — a run of seventh, third, ninth, third, sixth, and eighth — suggesting form has dipped noticeably since January. At five years old, Ashford Hill remains capable of improvement, but it will need to rediscover the spark that brought success at Lingfield. A return to that course on normal ground with Chalmers up could offer the best chance to break a seven-month losing streak.
