3rd or 4th highest S depending on agreements. Passive leads are unlikely to achieve anything here.

You've missed a bid out.
The auction was
1H - 2C
2NT - 4NT
5H - 6NT
2C was natural, but could be a 3-card suit if responder is exactly 3343 as a 2D response shows 5.
2NT was natural not promising extras.
4NT was some form of blackwood, probably normal blackwood.
I do indeed recognise the hand.
I would lead a spade.
