Cor is right about over exposure but, if I were to bleach, I would not over
develop as most common ferricyanide bleaches are cutting bleaches and
increase contrast. I would over expose, either dev normally or, as Cor
suggested, under dev a little, then bleach back.
CHEERS!

A few options:
Over expose and under develop might suppress B+F a bit.
A clean working developer might help (FX-37) might help.
Overdevelop and bleach back the B+F with Farmer.
Tried all these things on a free box of 8*10 HP5+ which had a high B+F, all
helped a bit, but guess what: slightly overexpose and process normal and
print through the B+F worked actually pretty good also!
Good luck,
Best,
Cor
