Having escaped a club lead, before doing anything else, you need to play three rounds of Diamonds and dump a losing club from dummy. From then onwards, it will be plain sailing since you can cross ruff the rest and bring in 3 Diamond tricks, 2 Minor suit cards ruffed in dummy and 4 trumps from hand. If the opposition are careless enough to crash their honours you might even make an overtrick.
