Windforpower is rated much higher on the all-weather and was winning for the first time in 18 attempts on Turf when scoring at Musselburgh recently. He's not an obvious candidate to follow up off a higher mark but Lord Buffhead is usually thereabouts at this level without actually winning. Balinka would prefer some cut in the ground and a chance is taken on LIZZY'S DREAM returning to winning ways now back on a winning mark with an apprentice's allowance taken into account.
