7♣/S
They didn't bid.
♥6-9-3-K. Make of those pips what you will.

Many choices. Maybe not the time or computing power to work through them.

Obviously well past my bed time, because the main thing that is calling to me is

Bang the A/Q of trump.
If trump are 2-2, drop the jack.

The King of Diamonds and a Diamond to the Ace.
If the Queen drops, I now have 13
If not, ruff a Diamond.
If the Queen drops, I have 13

If the queen doesn't drop, Ace of Hearts pitching a Spade
Then Jack of hearts for a ruffing finesse

Trumps are more likely to be 3-2 than 2-2.
If you come down to ♣K-10 in dummy, ♦Qxxx is a big problem.
There is a case for one trump (or none) then diamonds, though that stakes a lot on the diamond suit coming in.

If diamonds don't come in, ruffing heart finesse is 12 only. Still need three spade tricks. (If you have drawn all trumps)
