In terms of points/weight ratio, no. But EVERYTHING matters more on the grass-- because the horses are so consistent, they classify themselves very narrowly, making those races very competitive, and the margins narrower. The figures the horses run are extremely predictable, but PP and trips (ground loss)are enormously important, and a proper understanding of weight is essential to beating those races.
