DEFENCE MINISTER overcame obvious signs of inexperience and showed highly encouraging speed in the process when making a winning debut at Newmarket 3 weeks ago. Marking himself down as a useful prospect on that evidence, he can defy a penalty and make it 2-2. Fellow last-time-out scorer Dark Cloud Rising is another of interest, along with Arabian Angel, in an intriguing small-field affair.
