Rising star Bryony Frost believes it is only a matter of time before there is a female champion jump jockey. Frost became the second lady, following Lucy Alexander in 2013, to be crowned the leading conditional jockey last season, in a campaign that was headlined by Frodon's fabulous victory in the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.

"You can't do it by yourself - that's why I'm very lucky to have some amazing teams around me. "For Paul (Nicholls) to be supporting me, I still hav
