Comments on the clue
1.This anagrind needs to be before the fodder
2.Not convinced with 'Hector' as anagrind unless it is in the imperative
3.Imperative anagrind following fodder doesn't work. Swap names round and the clue's fine.
4.Does the def. refer to 'smart Alec'? If so, not really a stupid person.
