Scoring: MP

1♥-1♠
2♥-3♥
4♥-♣K lead

... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

What is dummy's first x, is it higher than my lowest x in my hand? Anyways I'm sure I'd start by ducking the club in tempo. LHO will never shift to a diamond from the K, if he has the DA he can work out to bang it down and I'll make 4 which is fine. If not I am still in the game for making 6 with 2-2 hearts and spades coming in. If hearts are 3-1 I will ruff a club and need Qx of spades to make 5.

Winning the club and playing ace of hearts, spade spade spade is just pretty irresponsible/wild I think.

My line would be ♣A and 3 rounds of spades, if RHO shows out or shows ♠Q ruff, but if he shows the 9 discard a diamond. Opponents will have difficulties to promote anything if they can.
