My guess: Low Monday and Whit Monday will be kept, not because of their religious importance (they are minor feasts) but because they create three day weekends.

The Assumption and Ascension are most likely to go, despite being major feasts and Holy Days of Obligation, because the Assumption is not moveable and the Ascension is always on Thursday.

Good Friday will be kept because it creates a four day weekend and because it is also a great solemnity to boot.

Christmas and All Saints are too festive, and Christmas is too important, to be discarded.
