As West, when two suits have been bid and one long suit is likely to come down in dummy, lead the stronger of your two four-card suits (unless headed by an A). As East, win the ♥A. Four red-suit tricks are needed to set the hand. If West has both kings, then lead anything. If West has the ♥K and ♦Q, then a low diamond at trick two needs to be led fast!
