North's 4NT shows two places to play, and as hearts must be one of them, you decide to play there instead of clubs. West leads the diamond2 to East's ace and spade8 is returned. West wins with spadeA over your king and, after thought, plays another spade.

Your first and last tasks at single dummy are to get the play correct to trick four and five. When shown the hand I only made it as far as trick four.
