Good lead -- whether from ♦AJ107x(x) or from 7x(x), other tables may not face this problem. Hence hoping for some luck:
Win, ♠Q to the A, ♣Q and unless this is covered the hand is over one way or another.
If LHO follows small, cash ♥s and finesse against the ♣10. If LHO follows with the ♣6 or 7, ♥ to Q, run the ♣8.
Alternatively could play ♥ to the Q first. Saves a downtrick; loses most of the chance for a ♠ cover.
