"It's down to me to keep going as I am and hopefully I'll get the chance in the summer."
Ashton's next opportunity to impress Jones is Saturday's Champions Cup semi-final against Wasps, who have risen to second in the Premiership after wing Christian Wade ran in six tries against Worcester on Saturday.
"We'll be opposite sides of the field but to score six tries is amazing. It does make me feel a bit jealous! But he's in the same position I am really, playing in a good team," Ashton said.
"When you're in a good team you get a lot more opportunities but six tries is impressive.
"I might see him a few times. He tends to stay on his wing a lot more but that's where he's good in that little outside channel."
