Problem:
This deal came up in the Cavendish Invitational tournament that concluded last week. The contract is 3NT by South. West leads the 7, ducked to the king. The ♠2 is returned, which is ducked to West's ten. You duck the ♠Q as well, and win the ♠J return perforce with the ace. What are your thoughts (When you cash the ace and king of diamonds, West will follow)?

Hint:
It seems like you need a favorable club layout. Can you strengthen your chances? Are there inferences available from East's spade switch at trick two?
