Lead was ♠Ace followed by a shift to ♥J

I find it hard to envision EW hands where West would bid only 2♠... to be at all plausible East must have at least 6.
♥J is odd too, assuming it can not come from QJ: we can see T987.
It looks possible this is from Jx, in any case with ♥Q in West.
I would take with ♥K, pull out the trumps (probably 3 in West) and then tackle hearts finessing for Q in West and see what happens.
If as I imagine the Q resists, I tackle the diamonds playing for J in East.
Sooner or later I have to concede the ♦A, probably in East with a spades return consuming my last trump in dummy, but I can still ruff a 4th red card in hand if necessary.

Am I already way off the rails?
