Lead CK - you win with A. Play a high spade from dummy - W drops T.

MP/IMPS ? I wouldn't have played the high spade, I'd like to have scored a small trump in hand via a club ruff first.

Finesse ♦Q and if this wins, cash the ace pitching a heart. Then ruff the ♦J and play a ♥ to the ace followed by ♥J. Just 2 hearts and a trump to lose since you can handle the 4-1 heart breaks.
If the diamond finesse loses, take the presumed diamond return pitching 2 hearts. Now you're likely to lose a trump, ♦K and a ♥, though some 4-1 heart breaks will see you off.

♣A then ♥3 appeals (more than a trump from the table).
Be the partner you want to play with.
Trust demands integrity, balance and collaboration.

After the play East has the ♠Ace. So the ♦finesse looks safe. If W has ♦King and the ♣ and the ♥ marriage he would have been silent with 13 points and a ♠single. If the ♦ finesse wins, you continue with ♠ and should be home under the assumption that E has at least one ♥honor, is it single or not.

To start with a ♣ ruff followed by a ♠ might led to the ♠ace and the continuation of a another ♣, which might lead to difficulties.

But I do not believe, that you present us a standard layout. So tell us the clue! B-)

I prefer a heart at trick 2. If West wins, he has to play something helpful.
