Tom Cannon is optimistic the step up in trip will help Edwardstone return to winning ways in Saturday's Coral Silviniaco Conti Chase at Kempton.

In two outings this season over two miles, Alan King's charge has been no match for Jonbon but he did get appreciably closer to him in the Tingle Creek than on his seasonal reappearance in the Shloer Chase.
