Is it too much to ask what slam?
In particular, 6C or 7C?

How about
Ace of ♠
if the 10 or 9 does not show up from RHO, then play to cross-ruff.
so..
second trick ruff a spade low. Cash Ace of clubs (who knows, the jack may fall). play AK of hearts then AK of diamonds, pitching hearts. Ruff diamonds, ruff spade, ruff diamond, ruff spade, ruff heart with K of clubs, ruff spade and take club Q.
This needs RHO to have the club jack, at least 4 diamonds and at least two hearts. LHO cannot have the club jack (assuming only 3 spades or fewer), fewer than 2 diamonds and fewer than 2 hearts.
If RHO plays the 10 or 9 I might go for a dummy reversal by setting up spades (hoping RHO has 3 to the K-10-9 of spades.
No strong feeling if this is the right play or not. An altermative is to hook spade at trick 1.
