# 3 of 5 (diamonds assumed)

You reach the grand with a minimum of fuss. Partner's 5club shows three of the five aces (including diamondK - he has assumed diamonds are to be trumps) - needless to say the opponents are silent. How do you play on the lead of heart9? We'll assume that you rise with ace and unblock heartJ (just in case) at trick one.
