Hierarchy (8/15), Buttercup Baby (6/1), Winter Rainfall (13/2), Comic Relief (15/2), Warrior Royale (8/1), Polar Light (12/1), Lucienne (20/1), Littleblackvelvet (25/1)

HIERARCHY has a very obvious chance. Comic Relief shouldn't be underestimated, while Polar Light also seems unlikely to be far away.
