When North rebid 4♦ this shows excellent Club support and a singleton Diamond and huge Slam interest. South should not be shy and should co-operate by cuebidding his Heart Ace. North then checks up on Aces and with just one Ace (normal Blackwood) North bids the Slam.
The play is really easy. After taking the Heart Ace declarer draws trumps and then enjoys all the Spades. After cashing all the Spades he conceded a Diamond and claims the remaining trump tricks. He has made 5 Spades, 1 Heart and 6 clubs and has not needed to ruff anything.
