None in clubs, 2 in spades, 1 in hearts and 1 maybe 2 in diamonds. The contract appears safe. Plan to draw trumps and try to develop extra winners in hearts and spades and a diamond ruff.
to see if east may be underleading the KH. Hmm looks like he is so lets play the JH. Draw trumps. Finesse west for the AD -win the heart return lead out the KD. Enter dummy with AS and ruff the last diamond - lead a low spade - then ruff a diamond return - lead a low heart from table and duck then - win the last heart return.
If you are tempted to bid 2C with your 4 card club suit and with only 5 points partner will bid 3NT and then you have lots of problems. Try it and see
