Ruff some ♣s, set up some ♠s. I hope we don't go more than 1 off and that 5♣ is making, as 6♣ looks adventurous...

I think I can always make this contract as long as W is 2155 and has the ♠A. Is it worth playing for this ?

♦ ruff
♣ ruff
8♠ to J
♣ ruff
Q♠ to A
trump won in hand
♣ ruff
♦ ruff
Cash trumps and spades

If the A♠ flies in first time, I will win the trump return, ruff a club and play Q♠ overtaking if it's not ruffed, then back to the above.
