Not sure what's best, but at the table I suspect I win the ace and run 8

I may play this way also, but lead looks stiff except if west has 65. I prefer to win with A first trick and then lead another . this might force a error from west who with stiff is odds to have trump stack also. if lead from a doubleton then win with K and lead 10 from dummy. this again puts defense under pressure. what happen from there is guess but that is how I think I would play first tricks.

Here is the full deal with the play:

Partner started off with LBengtsson's suggestion and ended up with nine tricks for a decent score, 78%.

I was pleased we found the seven card fit with the nice break.

Interesting choice if the A is underled to the K and another spade comes back

CyberYeti seems to have got this right :) Twice :)
Your partner was lucky that West failed underlead his A to get another ruff :)
A possible clue was that East led back his lowest :(
As the cards lie, running 8 achieves an overtrick, without depending on misdefence :)

If West does put East on lead with the K for another spade ruff, partner can ruff with the ace, cross to dummy with the K and cash the spades (since West is now out of hearts). Whether she would do that is another matter, strongest defence is to force her to make a decision she might get wrong.

There is only one spade to cash by then, yes you can get it right but you can also look very silly
