Talented jockey Bryony Frost landed the biggest win of her career at Cheltenham two years ago - and will be hoping to record another famous win this year.
Frost, one of the most charismatic jockeys in jump racing, is the most successful female national hunt rider in British history - with a staggering 182 wins to her name. She also became the first female jockey to ride a top-level winner at the Cheltenham Festival on Frodon in the Ryanair Chase in 2019 and the pair sealed a second Grade 1 success when dominating the King George at Kempton in December.

As anticipated the only absentee is Henry de Bromhead’s Monalee who is, along with all Irish horses and jockeys, banned from travelling over by the Irish government until January 1.
