Lordship Stud's hitherto untested homebred Bowmark (GB) (Kingman {GB}–Bound Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) lined up as a 5-1 chance for division two of Wednesday evening's Unibet More Boosts In More Races EBF Novice Stakes at Kempton and came home with a 'TDN Rising Star' rosette after unleashing a display of raw power in the one-mile heat.
The March-foaled bay raced in the front rank early and was steadied to track the leaders in a handy fourth after the initial exchanges. Readied for his bid soon after turning for home, he quickened in style to hit the front just inside the quarter-mile marker and engaged overdrive inside the final furlong to easily outclass Oursin (GB) (Phoenix Of Spain {Ire}) by an impressive 4 1/2 lengths. He becomes sire Kingman's 36th Rising Star and joins an honour roll which includes Calyx (GB), Palace Pier (GB), Persian King (Ire) and Headman (GB).
Bowmark is the fourth foal and scorer produced by Listed Trigo Stakes victrix Bound (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), herself a daughter of G1 Oaks runner-up Remember When (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}). Remember When's sextet of black-type performers includes G1 Derby hero Serpentine (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Group 3-winning G1 Oaks third Bye Bye Baby (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Group 2-winning G1 Nassau Stakes runner-up Wedding Vow (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Wedding Vow, in turn, is the dam of G2 Golden Fleece Stakes and G2 Royal Lodge Stakes placegetter Capulet (Justify). The March-foaled homebred bay is half to a yearling colt by Wootton Bassett (GB) and a weanling filly by Baaeed (GB).
