Still not enough to take it off the bottom spot as the Edinburgh Investment Trust is still showing a 20.57% increase.
But, the flagship High Income Fund managed by Neil Woodford remains out in front with a 23.07% increase.
Dividends came into the Investment Trust and the 3 picks, the latter receiving its dividend directly from British American Tobacco.
All 3 elements of the "picks" have stepped up lately with BT in particular being boosted by reception of its new marketing plans involving free issue of its quota of Premier League games with Broadband packages.
But it has also been a long time since Glaxo was last at £17, and BAT is continuing its long term rising trend.
As at the end of April, the 3 picks occupied 19.56% of the High Income Fund and maintained a position within the Funds top 10 holdings (http://www.invescoperpetual.co.uk: Invesco Perpetual High Income Fund).

Note: Unlike my Portfolio updates (Portfolio Updates.) which reflects an actual investment portfolio, "following" Woodford is an experimental strategy and a virtual portfolio.
