MPs, nobody vulnerable, you lead ♣K, and partner encourages, your turn.

top spade. This might indeed allow declarer to escape with no heart losers (and regrettably go only down 1) but by delaying leading hearts it seems to increase the likelihood of scoring up at least 4 trumps or 3 trumps and a heart to go along with the club K. Giving up a dia trick later in the hand should work out fine since p still has the probable club ace as an emergency trick. The top spade also starts what might be a very needed separation of dummy vs declarer. Getting any plus here should be a good MP score since our aggressive style has possibly pushed the opps a lvl higher than other tables.

I'd be very reluctant to lead a spade lest declarer is void (why take out 2Sx when partner bid it freely so should have six). Likely partner is 5116 or 5215, declarer 0364 or 0265 with HAK, DAJ and CJ (or Q, or neither). So partner should still pick up club tricks eventually. One could try a small diamond, on a good day partner has the 10 or even the 8 and we hopefully come to 2 clubs, 3 diamonds and another rounded suit trick depending on the layout and club intermediates. A heart is the alternative option, it seems to guarantee down 1 but gives up on most hopes of down 2.

It's the middle of the night here so E&OE
