As nige1 (is this meant as nigel or nige-1, btw?). ♥Q and spade up, setting up an intra-finesse position and taking it from there.

Playing IMPS you reach 3S. Plan the play on the heart Jack lead.
IMO
Win ♥Q and finesse ♠8. Presumably defenders win and cash ♥A while they attack ♦.
- If ♦J drives out LHO's ♦A, then win the ♦ continuation, cash ♠A and run ♣ hoping ♣ are 3-3 or that a defender is short in both black suits.
- If ♦J loses to ♦Q, then you need a favourable trump position and a good guess.
