Bindaree is none the worse for his heroics at Aintree, but trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies yesterday said his mind was not fully made up as far as the future was concerned.

He commented: "Giving up training is an option which I must consider but in any case it will be a case of downsizing on what we are doing now.

"I've had one or two owners on the phone since yesterday asking me what's happening and the answer to that is I don't really know right at this moment."

Twiston-Davies' business partner and former champion jockey Peter Scudamore said: "Nigel's very competitive and he doesn't like bumping along at the bottom with bad horses any more than I do. But winning the National has put a different complexion on things.

"If Nigel carries on I am all too glad to carry on being his assistant, well, more to the point, his business partner. If he gave up I would have to consider taking out a licence, but that would be very difficult with all my media work so I'd like Nigel to carry on."

Owner Raymond Mould declared he would continue to support Twiston-Davies with whom he has 12 horses.
