Bristol vet society has reviewed the first year texts on their website:
http://www.centaur.org.uk/Welfare%201st.htm
It's ever so slightly out of date, since they don't say anything about Sjaastad, Hove and Sand (I like it more than Cunningham), but the rest of it's pretty accurate.
If you're heading for Bristol, I wouldn't bother much with Biochemistry, since it's only a year's course. Can't speak for the other vet schools though!
Good luck on applying...
