North decided that his hand was looking quite good despite the minimum 20 points. He had not broken the initial transfer to 3heart with a cue-bid and yet had two crucial major suit queens. This encouraged him to cooperate with 5spade, so South now asked about North's trumps and the Grand Slam was reached.

How would you play 7heart from the North hand on diamondJ lead?
