The hand this week is pretty straight forward and from the offset declarer should realize his contract is safe.
Initially you have 4 winners and potential losers in Hearts Diamonds and Clubs. However your mind should be put to rest once the lead has been made and you know that West's ♥2 lead should be from a four card suit so the worst EW can do is take 3 Heart tricks. Therefore after winning the third trick merely play A high Club to force out their Ace and they can take one more winning Heart . You will make 3 Spades, 1 Heart 1 Diamond and 4 established Clubs.
