The  switch looks like a singleton so you can draw three rounds of trumps ending in dummy ready to play Hearts from the top. If West follows it’s a matter of ruffing out one round and all the Hearts are high. If West shows out on the second round you can merely do a ruffing finesse against East.

As the cards lay, the Hearts break and the hand is very easy once all the Hearts come into play and you make 2 Hearts, 4 established Hearts, I heart ruffed, 4 natural trumps and 1 Club, losing just the first trick

 

 

You can also view  watch the following movie to see how the hand pans out. (You need bridgvu.exe programme  or BridgeBase programme on your machine already to view it ) and it is available free from
