The two I would grow from this list are:

926 Hunt (1097.5 Beachy x 842 Eaton) - both parents are top producers and the 926 has produced two over 700.
893.5 Pukos 01 (723 Bobier x self) - 723 needs no introduction and the 893.5 itself has gone over 1100.

If I had to choose a third it would probably be the 1317. In that case I would cross the 926 and the 1317 as they are both half 842 Eaton 02.

Alternatively you could wait until you get your gleanings of this season's seeds.

I'd go with the 1317 Bobier, 976 Reid and the 1048 Cox. But a cross between the 893.5 and the 1048 would be interesting.
