South's spade4 is ominous - if he has enough strength to double 4heart then surely North would not have enough to consider overcalling on a five card suit at this vulnerability. No, South's spade4 smacks of a singleton, so giving up a spade, ruffing the other with heartA and finessing against South's heartQ is likely to lead to one off - unless South began with heartQx.

What other line might spring to mind?
