Your spade holding and heart suit quality might suggest playing in No Trumps, and certainly 3NT is where you would want to play. You might even reason that because West has declined the opportunity to double 2diamond for a lead then maybe diamondQ is not such "dead meat". Nevertheless, South's not unreasonable choice of bids led to a contract of 4heart. How would you play from the North hand on the lead of spade4?
