Trainer Chris Waller is confident his new import Endless Drama can make an impact on the Melbourne Cup spring carnival after an impressive barrier trial win at Cranbourne on Monday.

Formerly trained by Ger Lyons in Ireland, Endless Drama is owned by Qatar Bloodstock and has only just come out of quarantine at Werribee.

"I only laid eyes on him for the first time recently,” Waller said after Monday’s trial.

“He has been going quite well on the track but we didn't really have much of a guide on him.

"The trial was a great way for us to see where he is at and learn more about the horse.”

What Endless Drama produced at Cranbourne stamped him as horse to be taken seriously when he lines up in the $1 million Emirates Stakes over 2000m at Flemington on November 5.

Ridden by Craig Williams, Endless Drama settled off the pace before striding clear in the 1190m trial to win by eight lengths on an affected track.

“From what I've seen I think Endless Drama might fall in to the category of those imports that will handle our conditions,” Waller said.

"The plan is to give him only one run this spring. He is an ideal horse to aim at the Queen Elizabeth Stakes in Sydney in the autumn.”

By French Derby winner Lope De Vega, Endless Drama has high class European form, earning him a strong Timeform rating of 122 that compares favorably to weight-for-age form in Australia.

He finished second to Gleneagles in the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas last year and third behind Belardo and Euro Charline in this year’s G1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury.

He then won a minor race at Naas and was sent to Australia after finishing fifth in the G3 Royal Whip Stakes at the Curragh in August.

His record of two wins and four placings from eight starts also includes seconds in the Listed Tetrach Stakes and Listed Guineas Trial in Ireland.

Ger Lyons described Endless Drama as equal to any horse he has trained.

"He's as good a horse as I've trained. I'm just disappointed we got chinned in the big ones,” Lyons said when the four-year-old left his stable.

"He's a nice horse to have and I'm just sorry I didn't hit a big target with him."
