Normally, it is correct to lead partner's Suit but let's hope you are not an Always person. Your partner's 2H was weak and there is no guarantee that he has brilliant Hearts but you do have a magnificent Clubs suit and there is no reason on earth not to play your Ace and look at dummy.
After cashing your Club Ace you see dummy and you now know to play Ace and another Spade to limit declarer's chances of ruffing losers in dummy.
Now declarer will simply go two off losing two more Hearts to your beloved partner.
With an "Always" lead of a Heart declarer might well make his contract being able.
