Hey
Sheffield is good might be a bit risky ik they said their cutoff is 1800 but it's predicted that theyll only accept people 2100+ so choose if u want this as ur aspirational
manchester is a little risky too but u can try
Ur gcses look really good u could try queens uni belfast they love high gcses
The rest u mentioned seem good as well read the myucat strategic application doc and look at theukcatpeople website for more med schl advice
U can look at newcastle asw their contextual criteria is quite generous theyre including poc like indian bengali pakistani etc see if u fit in the other criteria asw
