Once they lead a Spade the idea is not to lose control of the trump suit and to enjoy the lovely Diamonds.
Take the first trick and immediately duck a Heart. Now if they play back a Spade you can ruff it test a second trump and one the trumps are no worse then 42 you just play off winning Diamonds ignoring all of dummy’s Clubs.
(NB Despite the high card points and all these lovely long suits, as the cards lie, N/S cannot make a slam in anything)
