Sir,I humbly beg to be forgiven for my comment below.
1)I ,personally ,feel that the DIRECT JUMPTO SIX SPADE by North (after hearing the 4C bid by opponents) was illogical.South COULD have two club losers. .On some other day they could easily have missed a Grand.
1A)West bid clubs and yet did not lead a high honor.(to see the dummy as it were) but led the DJ. One is at liberty to draw conclusion from that or it may turn out to be a DOUBLE CROSS.
2) A safety play in hearts is just not available.A ruff and discard endplay is difficult to imagine at least on the table.
3) I am TOO JUNIOR to describe the line of play .

Given the lack ♣AK lead we can assume west has 8 clubs, we can play ♦A, ♥A, club ruff, heart towards dummy, this will give us a lot of information and we could count he hand before commiting to spades.
The bad thing about tis line is west might discard a diamond and now we cannot count his diamonds anymore, but don't see how to overcome that without risking a second diamond early myself.

Thx for the reply,
I think that there is an even better line. (Not that I came up with it myself, but a teammate pointed it out.)

If the ♥A gets ruffed, you're down, how about win the Q♦ and lead a heart, ruff a club and lead another heart.

I assumed with 4-0 we were down already, seems I was wrong

OleBerg asks "Lead: ♦J. Disassociating from partners bids, how do you play?"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I confess that, at the table, I might start to draw trumps
But, heeding Oleberg's hints and sage advice from Fluffy/CyberYeti,
declarer might try ...
win ♦A, ruff a ♣, ♥ to ♥K, ruff a ♣, ♥ to ♥A, ruff a ♣
... and then guess ♠s
Either opponent might err by discarding a trump on one of your losers
