Bread and butter approach here: take ace, disc a club on hearts, finesse spade. Wins with 3-2 spades and king onside by means of 6 spades, 2 hearts, 2 diamonds,

I went with win Ace, ♥AK pitching a club, ruff heart, ruff diamond, if the ♥T is established cash it discarding a diamond, otherwise finesse spade. I might have thought about it wrong though.
Don't like nige1's approach because if ♦Q loses, they cash a club and play a trump, you're losing 2 diamonds, a club, and a trump no matter what.

The spade finesse will be very hard to acomplish once you ruff a diamond

It seems to me likely that the ♦K is with East
♦A
♥A,K club discard
♣ ruff
Now ♦Q for a ruffing finesse.
If it looses they will have to play a trump, or you can play a ruffing finesse against the ♦J
If they play trump you can try your luck with the spade finesse.
If you can ruff out the diamond king you ruff another club and play ♠A and another hoping for two trump loser and one diamond loser.

You were right about ♦K position Rainer, how did you reason that?, at the table I reasoned that the auction screamed for a diamond lead from any holding.

maybe people have been reading Bird/Anthias?
Anyway, its at least as good a shot as other lines.
