Ashford Island finally got his nose in front at Chelmsford last night. Given a confident ride by his jockey, Royston Ffrench, AI took advantage of his draw and sat close to the pace. Fortunately Royston was able to angle the horse out at the furlong marker and won by just over a length. AI has always shown some ability at home but things I don't always gone to plan on the track. Hopefully this will help his confidence and we hope he can go forward from here.
