Once more I went through my own list, and considered the three most likely candidates in the light of these requirements.

I saw four likely candidates, six feet back from the edge of the main stage.

Most likely candidates are those under 56 with specific skills.

Chris thought it over, and could come up with only one likely candidate.

Style analysis alone could produce a list of likely candidates.

At the moment, he's the candidate most likely to rise.

I thought Will was the most likely candidate to take charge.

But analysts and others say they do not see a likely candidate.

The only other likely candidate is Pakistan, to the south.

That reading is then the most likely candidate to have been original.
