Black Corton, the only British runner in the first five in the betting, has improved enormously since starting his season at Newton Abbot in October, with Bryony Frost a big part of his story. They stuffed Ms Parfois at Ascot last time and that one ran a huge race in the four-miler here yesterday. 1.59pm GMT Next up is the RSA Chase, where 22-year-old Bryony Frost is looking to continue her rise on Black Corton.
