Here is the result from my previous contest "Battle of the Crowns" at slow time
control:

    Program          Score     %    Av.Op.  Elo    +   -    Draws

  1 LGoliath     :  37.0/ 52  71.2   2289   2445   76  99   26.9 %
  2 Crafty       :  32.0/ 52  61.5   2294   2376   85  77   34.6 %
  3 AnMon        :  31.5/ 52  60.6   2294   2369   86  83   28.8 %
  4 Amy          :  28.5/ 52  54.8   2297   2331   93  85   21.2 %
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  5 SOS          :  28.0/ 52  53.8   2298   2325   94  82   23.1 %
  6 Bringer      :  27.5/ 52  52.9   2298   2318   96  72   32.7 %
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  7 TCBishop     :  27.0/ 52  51.9   2299   2312   97  73   30.8 %
  8 Phalanx      :  26.5/ 52  51.0   2299   2306   99  74   28.8 %
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  9 Comet        :  24.5/ 52  47.1   2301   2281   62  96   44.2 %
 10 Gromit3      :  24.5/ 52  47.1   2301   2281   79  96   25.0 %
 11 Gromit2      :  21.5/ 52  41.3   2304   2243   89  88   21.2 %
 12 Francesca    :  18.5/ 52  35.6   2307   2204  102  82   17.3 %
 13 Yace         :  18.5/ 52  35.6   2307   2204   87  82   28.8 %
 14 ZChess       :  18.5/ 52  35.6   2307   2204  108  82   13.5 %

Which tends to indicate (to me) that TC-Bishop, Francesca (MAD), Amy, and
Phalanx all deserve attention.

Leo Dijksman's contest seems to indicate that recent versions of Quark deserve
definite attention:
http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/

Since your list is based on his contest, where is Quark?

There is a program called Ruffian by Per-Ola Valfridsson of Sweden that seems to
be getting a lot of attention and might be very strong.

Amyan is getting pretty strong, and has looked pretty good in recent contests.

There will be a new version of ArasanX soon that will be much stronger than the
old version.

The latest Delfi looks pretty strong, but not sure how it compares with the top
dogs.
