Add the header X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest

The explanation

If you track down the method ->ajax() it goes through the following function:

    /**
     * Returns true if the request is a XMLHttpRequest.
     *
     * It works if your JavaScript library sets an X-Requested-With HTTP header.
     * It is known to work with common JavaScript frameworks:
     *
     * @see https://wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ajax_frameworks#JavaScript
     *
     * @return bool true if the request is an XMLHttpRequest, false otherwise
     */
    public function isXmlHttpRequest()
    {
        return 'XMLHttpRequest' == $this->headers->get('X-Requested-With');
    }

Add the header X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest and then $request->ajax() will return TRUE.
