I guess I'd go for a very straightforward line:
A, A, ruff, A, A, ruff, low to 10, KQ, K, K discarding last , ruff, 10.
Kind regards,
Harald

I think the order is slightly different, as LHO appears to have a doubleton diamond (I am probably stuck if LHO has a singleton diamond)

Ace of diamonds
King of diamonds discarding a club
Ace of spades
Spade ruff low
King of clubs
Ace of clubs
Spade ruff low
Club ruffed hopefully low (in the literal sense of hopefully) - or a diamond ruff in hand, if LHO seems to have 3 diamonds
Spade ruff high

Now I am down to diamonds & clubs in dummy, and KQ10x of hearts in hand.
I ruff a diamond low, and LHO can over-ruff but is endplayed.

If RHO ruffs in on the 3rd round of clubs, I'll need to know exactly what my heart pips in hand are.

Here's an alternative line:

AK of diamonds discarding a spade
Ace of spades, spade ruff
Club to hand, spade ruff
Ace of hearts
Diamond ruffed with the H10 - if this holds up, KQ of hearts and claim if hearts are 3-2

This line looks worse than the first one.

I think there's a possible minor suit squeeze line in there somewhere, but I can't quite make it work better than the alternatives.

I missed this one for a while, as the cards line everyline worked.

The heart pips I think are not important since RHO won't ever ruff with singleton trump (he must have 6 diamonds then and you are down), and after overruffing you are home just drawing trumps and conceding a spade.

My partner played Frances line wich would had been so pretty if trumps were 4-1.
