Scoring: IMP
Bidding: South opens 1H in fourth seat, North gave a simple raise and South bid the game.
South declares 4H. West (rather quickly) leads the 4 of S (4th best if from length).
Your thoughts?

Agree with Fluffy. If the spade jack is covered I play hearts from hand (queen), planning to use my one entry to dummy to take a second spade finesse later. The quick lead suggests a singleton.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Doesnt leading a heart from hand probably cost 3 trump tricks, as well as the eventual spade loser?
Enter dummy and finesse East for the heart J. Hopefully he goes up with the A or K and gives his pard a ruff with the other top honor (A or K). Then your Q takes teh remaining Jack. Lose 1 trump, 1 spade, and 1 spade ruff.

Drop the nine under the Jack when it wins.
