It looks like a lead in either minor rings the bell, but how is West to know? I seem to remember that East can suggest a lead in dummy’s first-bid suit by doubling the final contract, but I may be imaging that. But even if it was, it is hardly guaranteed that is a good start for the defense.
Maybe East should get it right and rise with the ace at trick 2, easier said than done though.
Oh, and a PS, my wife and I are heading to London in about a month, first trip for me, third for her so she has done most of the planning for sight-seeing. Anyone know of any hidden gems I can bring to her attention?
