As S you're in 4♠, lead is the 2♣ (singleton or lowest of 3 or 4 to an honour)
Plan the play.
This turned up in a teams match where they played 3N against us, team mates were in 4♠ and wondering what the best single dummy shot was to make it.

I would try and setup hearts. Club, heart, spade to the ten and take it from there.

Win the club, red card to hand, lead a club. If W follows (or pitches) then red card to hand and pitch club on DK. By now you should have an idea of what order to cross ruff. If W ruffs the second club then I will reevaluate.

I wld take ♣A
-♥A
-♣to K
-♦AK discard a ♣
-Ruff ♦
-A ♠
-Ruff ♥
- Try to ruff ♣/♦ depends on what i saw so far.
I didnt check closely but if RHO has only 2♦+♠Q, or LHO has stiff ♥ and didnt lead , i can still make if they ruffed from Qxx/xxx ♠. Upto your explenation of the ♣2 lead it should not be overruffed or perhaps i read your explenation wrong.

When you reply to my post, do you not get the code for the hand which you can then display ?
