Frost is replacing usual jockey Kevin Nabet on the 20-1 chance after he was knocked unconscious when banging his head.
Former King George winner Frost left Britain for a new life in France in the wake of her .
She landed a plum job as retained rider big owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede.
And just last month the 30-year-old announced her engagement to fellow jockey Baptiste le Clerc.
Frost has ridden for Rooster Crowing’s trainer Mickael Seror before, the pair combining to land a Grade 3 at Auteuil last September.
The jockey suffered a .
And it was Aintree four years ago she was forced to give up her Grand National ride after a bone-crunching spill from Thyme White in the Red Rum handicap chase.
Frost ended up breaking her back and shoulder in the fall and had a spell on the sidelines in recovery.
But she is back this time round chasing a £50,000 winner’s prize.
Seror is happy to have her in the saddle after Nabet was brought down in a race by a rival who subsequently got banned 15 days.
The French trainer told the Racing Post : “Kevin banged his head and he lost consciousness so although nothing was broken, he’s out because of that.
“Bryony knows the horse – obviously not that well but she has ridden him – and she has a lot more experience of Aintree than other French jockeys.
“She comes in and rides work with me regularly so she’s the logical choice to take the ride.”
