The Laurels Pub & Restaurant Kingdom Gold Cup Premier Handicap was the most valuable race on a good Flat card Thursday evening in Killarney and Morph Speed earned the €23,600 winner’s prize with a doughty display.

Camorra, who was in contention throughout, proved a sticky opponent but Chris Hayes got a great response from the Richard O’Brien-trained Morph Speed, and he got on top late on. It was a fourth handicap win of the season for the five-year-old, and the Petingo Handicap at Leopardstown on Champions Weekend is on the card for the progressive sort.
