Saw this hand in a Cayne match today. See if you can do better than the actual declarer.

spoiler?
I tried to post a spoiler-masked anwser but screwed it up, so here is my answer, with apologies to Phil if I preempted his hoped-for set of responses....of course, I may have screwed up the play as well I duck the heart. I will assume RHO does likewise, tho I have lines mapped out should he not.
I win the presumed second heart and lead a top diamond, hoping LHO wins, in which case I assume he is endplayed. Regardless of his exit, sooner or later I am on the board to pitch a heart on the diamond winner, and will then take a spade hook, and if I get the reward to which I am entitled due to my clean living, LHO started with xxx Jx Axxxx AKx and I make my contract.

Who is this stranger called "MikeH" ? He seems like an OK player
Yes, the trick is to not play a spade but ♦ K as MikeH said.
Of course it is out of question but seems like a ♥ lead would do better job for EW.
