You could always try ruffing out some spades to remove east's spades. If you ruff out east's spades, then after drawing trump, play off the clubs, you could try running the 9 of diamonds if west doesnt cover.

[EDIT] didnt see the dummy reversal :( so stupid of me.

What if you combine?

Spade Ace, spade ruff, diamond finesse.

If loses, suppose heart back, won on dummy. Spade ruff, cash another heart, club to Jack, spade ruff, diamond to Ace, pull last trump, cash three clubs.

I take Hamdi's point: ♠A, ♠ ruff, ♥T, ♥Q
  • If trimps break 3-2, continue ♠ ruff, ♣J, ♠ ruff, ♦A, ♥A, claim.
  • If trumps are 4-1, finesse ♦Q later.

p.s.

If trumps 3-2 then 3 times ruff at hand, enter table, remove last trump, pitch diamond loser and enjoy clubs.

If 4-1 always available to switch for th line Nige1 showed us.

Only concedes the curse of Scotland at hand;-)
