What's the best line?

I will go off if LHO has 5 hearts and the ace of spades.
I need such an enormously favourable lie in the minors to make without touching spades, that it looks better just to hope hearts are 4-4 (which the play suggests, but does not promise, they are)

I will start by knocking out the spade. Assuming I'm not immediately off, if spades play for 3 tricks I guess I cash the AK of clubs then find the DQ if the queen of clubs hasn't dropped. If hearts are 5-3 and RHO has the SA this also restricts undertricks compared to finessing clubs into West.
