Slightly messed up IGCSEs, which Universities should I cross off?

Biology, Maths, Physics A+
Chemistry A
English, Geography B

Getting the English and Chemistry remarked, maybe i'll get lucky. My exam slip only shows the grade, not how close I was to the boundary. I believe the B in English will cause me problems with some Universities. I don't trust the University's minimum requirements list because many of them are flooded with applications from people who get A+ in every subject.

Below is a list of Universities that will consider me based on my circumstances:
Edinburgh
Aberdeen
Newcastle
Leeds
Leicester
Sheffield
King's College London
East Anglia
Liverpool
Keele
Brighton & Sussex
Durham

I will do the UKCAT soon, and then eliminate any universities for which I scored below the cut off.

Which of the Universities are likely to be unhappy with my GCSEs, so I can consider eliminating them?
