The jump rebid to 3NT shows a long, usually solid minor, and can be made
with a singleton, possibly a void, in partner’s suit.
Although it is unlikely that East will switch to a club, you should not
take any chances. Win the first heart.
At trick two, play a high diamond. If West shows out, unblock the ♦8 or ♦9 from dummy. Now lead a low spade to dummy’s King and play ♦9, which East covers. No problem. Win the diamond,
overtake your ♠Q with the Ace and lead a
third diamond to your ♦7. What seemed
like a hand where umpteen zillion overtricks would be rolling in, turns out to be
a squeaker where you have to settle for nine. If West turns up with four
diamonds, give up on that suit and turn your attention to spades. If spades are
3 - 3, you still have nine tricks: five spades, three diamonds and the ♥A.
Everybody wants happiness, nobody wants pain, but you can’t have a
rainbow without a little rain!
