You have one losing spade. If you can drop the jack of hearts in the third round, you will be able to pitch two losing spades from dummy. That’s a 27 percent chance. Do you see any other possibilities?

Update 3/31/2020: Declarer played low from dummy and tried to set up her hearts to discard two spade losers as suggested above. It did not work. She missed the slight chance that opening lead was from K Q of diamonds. If she had played the 10 of diamonds at trick one her problems would have been over.
