This hand is now absolutely cold against any distribution. Draw the last trump and lead a small cub towards dummy.

a) If South shows out you will be able to cross to dummy with diamondA or clubJ and finesse club9 to pick up the remaining clubs. The unused entry will still be there to access the fifth club.

b) If North shows out you can cross back to clubA to lead another club towards dummy.
Either way you will lose only one trick to clubK.
