sun tel cryptic 2604

Think I'm all finished but two clues are not clear
8d Spotted man in game starting with a couple of sixes (6) D?M?N?
am guessing the answer is DEMONS and have heard of racing demons - does it have to start with a six ?
11ac Man protecting little girl, in a manner of speaking (5) I?I?M
also am guessing this is IDIOM but do not see a little girl ?
thanks

Hi R
thanks for the help I keep forgetting that IOM is manxland !
We too love Spain and the heat. For the last 11 years we have spent two weeks
in Marbella at The old Four Seasons - really like it out there - but this year we didnt go sad to say - trust all is well with you and your J - will it be land of Oz again next year ??

No, Oz was a one-off! Perhaps Turkey again or possibly Italy next year.
Abi & I were at Benalmedena so not far from Marbella!
