Does 7C show 2 of the top 3 honors in clubs? If so, then responder
can hardly have much else but CAQxx(x) in his hand for the 1D
negative.
A red card may give up a trick, so the spade lead looks like the
default. No doubt the obvious lead is wrong, or why else would you
post this? Oh, wait, you missorted your hand - one of the little
spades is actually a club which, if lead, defeats 7C.
