West lead ♣A and continue with ♣6, you duck ♣3 from dummy and ruff in hand. ♠5, dummy 9 taken by East's ♠Q. East retuen a friendly ♥6, now your turn. West will play low ♥.

The defense have been quite generous here. I can't see making on a cross ruff, so I will lead a small spade from hand now inserting the 9. If this loses to the A, I'm almost home free. If diamonds are returned I stick in the J. My plan is to ruff another club in my hand (with the ♠10 if need be) and to set up ♥s. I can't do everything and if ♥ are 4-1 the defense should find their ruff.

After these first four tricks, I suppose I win the heart return in dummy, ruff another club and lead another spade.
I will go down on a club ruff if LHO has ♠Ax.
