! asking for specific aces

Partner's highly considerate play of the red jacks has shown you that he possesses neither red suit queen. Declarer must have the two missing aces for his bidding and that gives him eleven top tricks. To throw a club on this last spade is completely out of the question because dummy's club suit will be good, but you are therefore in the grips of a three-suit squeeze.

Help! What do you do?
