Scoring: IMP

After 1♥-2♣-2♦-2NT,
you finally reach 5♦
in an uncontested auction

Isn't it nice that you are allowed to play 5 of a minor in IMPs? Anyway, after a helpful Spade lead to the ace, RHO switches to the ♥Q. Plan the play, please.

♦Q first, then decide what to do next.
I think there is better chance to setup ♣Q by finesse than trump.

not sure of the best line, but i won't take Diamond finesse.
Playing DA first, then ruff heart to setup the heart suit.
it works with singleton DK, OR D Kx with short in hearts.

Club to Ace, Club Ruff, Diamond to Ace, Club ruff, Ace of H and H ruff, hoping H split or that D Ten is in the hand with long hearts, and combining chance of dropping Kx in clubs.

RHO wins the ♦K, and returns the ♥J. So what next?
