2 Gian van Veen

3 Luke Humphries

4 Gerwyn Price (UP 1)

5 Jonny Clayton (DOWN 1)

6 James Wade

7 Ryan Searle (UP 2)

Heta slides out of the top 20, but is still within a Pro Tour final of getting back in and has a good 25,000 point buffer to the next player down. Price binking has opened up more than a Pro Tour win gap over Clayton, while Searle through to Rock remain extremely close, but have a sizable gap above Aspinall, who's also pretty close to the next three guys down. Nijman's form is mostly trying to see him bridge a gap from Wattimena up to the MvG group, he's more than half way there but still has work to do, and is getting pretty close to the point where he can't get realistically higher without some work on TV.

Lower down since the last update, a bit of a resurgence for Gilding and Cullen sees the latter safely into the top 30 again while Andrew looks to get back to the top 25. Doets is on the brink of the top 30 (and if it wasn't for Joe playing well, he'd likely already be there), while fellow rising Dutchman Zonneveld is 35th with a few struggling players ahead of him. Hood's Pro Tour final is basically keeping him standing still, Sedlacek continues a Matchplay run and is well into the top 50 now, Soutar and Barry are not too far off joining him there while Dimitri's recently dropped out. Two good runs for Greaves sees her into the top 80, and Jim Long isn't far off the top 100 now. Tom Bissell's already got there.

We've got a week off now, and then some steady action as the Matchplay race hots up. Two PC's in the last week of April, another two the week after that before we decamp to Austria, then the cycle basically repeats before Riesa and then Kiel to round out May. This weekend also sees Dev and Nordic Tour action, weekend after that sees Challenge and Asian Tour events, while in the WDF they've got a gold event in Denmark so someone else can print a Lakeside ticket there. There's a couple of things I might look at before the next Euro Tour, so stay posted.
