Not a hand to get too high on. If East decides to join in with 2H and plays there it will go badly when it goes 2 down.
When holding 4 of the five honours in trumps and you plan to play the suit to draw trumps - start at the top - there's a good chance you will make all four tricks. On this particular deal South should avoid play trumps to keep at least one to ruff a heart in dumym.
TIP:
Apply caution when bidding as an overcall if you know that a hand could be quite misfitting for all. Only bid with extra length or HCP.
As declarer - never give up tricks if you don't need to
