Alan King's number two jockey Wayne Hutchinson has emerged from the long shadow of 'Choc' Thornton over the past few weeks to ride some of the nation's outstanding horses to big wins.
But he knows he's now on borrowed time in the spotlight as the stable's number one is soon to return from the broken arm he received at Hereford in December.
It takes me time to get my head back to normality, back to riding at the second meeting.

In the meantime he is living on the high of steering such as Raya Star, West End Rocker and Hold on Julio to high profile successes for his ultra successful boss.
He said: "It will take time for me to adjust after 'Choc' returns. It did last year. It takes me time to get my head back to normality, back to riding at the second meeting.
"I approached the season saying I'd like to ride a big Saturday winner and I've had those three. The thrill I got riding West End Rocker over the big fences at Aintree was awesome, surely there's no better feeling in the game apart from actually winning the National."
Hutchinson has some good looking rides at Warwick on Thursday with Fire Fighter in the at 1.72, Godsmejudge in the at 4.00 - both for Alan King - and well bred Rainbow Dancer at 19.00 in the 'bumper' at .
