we should probably play one round of trumps before going for a club finesse if we play to the A♠, we can play the 10♦, and cover if W plays the queen, letting us locate the diamond honors we should all ready figure E for at least one heart honor, so this will make it easier for us to guess where the queen of spades is based on based on the expected point ranges of the 1h overcall and 2 heart response W may even return a club if he wins the diamond

It seems to me that 1♠, 2♦ under represents the strength of S hand. And after that we don't ever show our length in spades. Edit: I would respond 2♠ to opening bid, not 2♣, was a little mixed up in my first response. Also, I think N probably does better to pass with his hand than open the bidding.
