BRYONY FROST is returning to Britain with three rides for Paul Nicholls - including one on a former superstar who cost £375,000.

The trailblazing Cheltenham Festival-winning jockey will get the leg up on a trio of mounts at Uttoxeter this weekend.

Frost, 29, packed her bags and left the UK for France last September, admitting a few months ago: "My life is here now."

She has picked up a retainer for top owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede while over there.

But Frost, who was at the centre of a bullying storm with fellow rider Robbie Dunne, will be the star attraction at the Staffordshire track on Saturday.

Punters will be eager for her to pocket them a few quid on a horse who cost a fair few - but never lived up to his reputation - on her first mount in the 1.03pm

Frost will ride six-year-old novice hurdler Histrionic, who was bought by Nicholls and right-hand man Tom Malone for £375,000 after a point-to-point win in April 2023.

A little over a year later he was sold for £120,000 having failed to triumph again in three attempts.

Histrionic was a promising fourth on his hurdling debut last December having been ridden on all four career starts by Harry Cobden, so maybe there is big improvement to come.

An hour-and-a-half later Frost is on Brave Kingdom, who's being backed into 7-1 for a handicap chase over 3m.

Her final ride of the day comes on seven-year-old gelding Don't Tell Su, who's finished runner-up on his past three runs.

He's been bumped up to a mark of 120 because of that but only has four rivals to beat in the 2m4f handicap hurdle at 3.23pm.

Frost has ridden nine times in Britain this season, winning once - a mares' handicap hurdle at Exeter on Haldon Gold Cup day last November.
