South's opening showed spades (single suited weak or strong, or two suited very strong). 4♥ agreed clubs, 4NT was RKCB and 5♣ showed one or four. 5♦ asked for the club queen. North bid the Grand because of his extra trump length.

Lead is ♥Q, trumps are 2-1 with the doubleton queen in the West hand behind the ace/king. How would you tackle the spade suit?
