If clubs are 6-3 sneaking a club trick could work, however it will force us to give up on ♦QJ onside, which is more likely than the sneak, so it is not worth it.
So I would go for the simple ♥A + spade to the 10, if ♠Q loses diamond double finesse will be needed, perhaps with ♣Q on our right if diamonds don't break.

♠J and if nothing weird happens I'll go up with the K. If RHO holds AQx and I don't guess it the double finesse in diamonds is more likely to work, I suppose. But I'm counting on Q-Axx or Qx-Ax in spades.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

You take the percentage play in trumps - ♥ ace followed by the ♠ jack. Floated if small and no obvious hitch by RHO. If that fails, the ♦ double hook is a fall back. All of the girls in my Thursday afternoon rubber bridge game (10 cents Canadian per point) would play it the same way.

Well, it must be a strong game at $10 per hundred.

If you assume the ♠A is onside and the suit isn't 4-0, the normal percentage play isn't % anymore.
