Trident Maple Advice Needed. Novice

I bought this trident from a local nursery close to Valladolid, Spain. I Know it is not the best bonsai, but it was cheap (30 dollars) and I desperately wanted a trident. The condition of the tree was not the best. It almost had no soil, it has very thick branches almos strait up with long internodes, and the roots turn arround the pot.
The first thing i did was to lisft it and added more soil, after this just water and fertilice a couple of times with a very weak concentration (1/4 full strengh). It recovered very well with new grouth.
Next year I plan to transplant it and work on the root system.
But at this moment I am not sure what to do with the upper part.

Any suggestions? Virtuals?

I will post a foto in a couple of weeks when leaves fall since Autum has begun arround here.

I have uploaded 2 fotos of my growing benches in the gallery

Thank you all in advance.
