HARD CORE DEBT has tumbled down the weights but still boasts the highest mark in this. The drop in class may bring a return to form and he gets a token vote in a poor seller. Bond Club finished well ahead of Cape Of Hope when runner-up over 6f at Thirsk to subsequent winner Bear Behind. But he hasn't looked like staying 7f so far though Mitchell is another on the slide in the handicap and he could figure. Mitchum has a shout on his earlier second over track and trip in similar company.
