Rubber Bridge. You are East with J1064 K854 Q1053 3. With west dealer and nobody vulnerable, the auction proceeds

1H (2C) 4H (4S) All Pass

Dummy hits K3 6 AK92 QJ10986

C A-6-3-4
C-5-8-S4-7

Your defence?

Edited to include the dummy that was inadvertently omitted - the fullhand complained when I tried to generate the diagram on Chrome.

low spade. prevent ruffs in dummy and you will acomplish your task, declarer making only 7 spades and 2 diamonds.


Maybe it is better to play spade jack, that way declarer will be in dummy and you can pop with ♥K before partner of unknown skill blocks something.

There's just about room for partner to hold a stiff Q♠, so a small spade is better.
Agree with rest of your analysis though.
