| # | Confirmed Disher | Nickname | Anagram | Club | Purpose | BetPhil Starting Odds | BetPhil's comments | |
| 1 | John Alexander | JA | John an' relaxed | West Lancs | USA President | 25-1 | Last time the Dish was in this neck of the woods in 2012 he was the shock winner of the Didsbury Driver. First round of the Dish on his home course - don't write him off! | |
| 2 | Rob Burnett | Rob | Burnt beer trot | Somewhere in Scotland | Token Scot | 12-1 | Master of link golf | |
| 3 | Andy Simon Deutsch | Herr Doktor | Unmatched rowdiness | Hallamshire | CEO | 10-1 | Playing well and recently cut to 9.7 | |
| 4 | Alan Donaldson | Tufty | Old and on nasal | Somewhere in Devon | Medical advice | 30-1 | Living proof that you can't handicap someone out of bad golf (apart from Mike Campbell in 2001 of course) | |
| 5 | Nick Hammett | TBA | Thick man met | Mendip GC | Laser distance checker | 12-1 | Winner in 2018 and 2022 so a strong contender. | |
| 6 | Matt Hatton | Mat the hat | Matt Hat Ton | Hallamshire & Royal Liverpool | Tranmere Rovers Supporter | 10-1 | Always in contention and a good links player. Could be the man to watch for 2025. | |
| 7 | Paul Hocking | The Hock | Pack in ghoul | Ashridge | Reduce the BMI average | 22-1 | Been PLACing recently | |
| 8 | Pete Hoy | Shipper | Hey Poet | Hallamshire | Best nickname | 20-1 | 10th anniversary of his last win. Could be inspirational. | |
| 9 | Jonathan Hurst | Hurstie | Not harsh junta | Bramhall | Part timer | 20-1 | Will he be fit enough to complete both rounds? As last year's winner will he be picked on by the handicap committee? | |
| 10 | Bobek Lewinski | Bobo | Win blokes bike | Aintree | Tour photographer | 40-1 | Has never won the Dish despite some serious help from the handicap committee | |
| 11 | Simon Lowe | Ken | Lion's Meow | Bedford & County | Tour Doctor (retired) | 12-1 | Recent good form and handicap still double digit. Could be one to watch (or even put a bet on). | |
| 12 | Andy Marples | Miss Marples | Manly spread | Liphook | Be a bigger Eurob than Phil | 20-1 | Never won the DD off the men's tees. | |
| 13 | Peter Adrian Noble | Iggy | Retard on plebeian | Ashridge | Bringer of sobriety to the event. | 15-1 | Back to full fitness and good form at golf. Definitely worth a punt. | |
| 14 | David Normington | Stormin' Norm | Odd man, not virgin | Hallamshire | Swings both ways: Eurob & USA | 7-1 | Handicap increase on medical grounds but back on form, so starting favourite to win. | |
| 15 | John Everingham | Evo | Jen, him hangover | Hallamshire | Keeping Andrea busy | 16-1 | If his golf was as good as his fly fishing he'd be odds on. | |
| 16 | Iain Thomson | Thommo 2 | Hot insomnia | Ashridge | Big hitter (with his 3 wood) | 25-1 | Hardly ever plays these days, but practices his drinking most nights in the Greyhound so will perform well on the apres golf. | |
| 17 | Richard Sharp | Sharpy (aka Razor) | Arch rash drip | Ashridge | Qualified driving instructor | 18-1 | Let's hope his driving on the course is as good as on the road. Boom booom! | |
| 18 | Phil Walker | Ledge | Hik! Par well! | Ashridge | Webmeister & BetPhil | 15-1 | I've come 2nd, 2nd, 3rd in the last 3 years, so could be worth an each-way bet. | |
| 19 | Nigel Whalley | Wal | Whine legally | Edgbaston | Provide some quality golf | 10-1 | Poor scores and injury woes since his win in 2019. It could be his year to make a return. | |
| 20 | Paul Woods | Woody | Would soap | Ashridge | Phil's chauffer (please!) | 18-1 | The only Ashridge member to win it this millennium, but recent wrist injury watching beach volleyball may play it's part. | |
