The Marshes International at Dundalk is really taking shape, with four of the six runners in the €20,000 contest now confirmed, and the track management hope to finalise the line-up by the weekend.

Invitations have been issued to Irish Derby champion Ballymac Matt and English Derby runner-up Droopys Roddick as well as the UK duo of Scottish Derby winner Hot Pipe and English St Leger winner Fizzypop Buddy.
