You have at least nearly enough points for slam... but will you bid it?

5♦?

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

4NT.

Keep it simple.

AKQ in diamonds will provide 3 fast discards, if needed.

4♥ if it's last train, not if it's a control or suggestion to play.

5♦ otherwise, particularly if 4♥ would have been a control, this pretty much marks me with a lot of high cards in diamonds.

If partner has AJxx, QJ109x, J, AKQ and they play 3 rounds of hearts to beat 5♠, that's just unfortunate.

4♥ train, then 5♦ whether he signs off or not. This is my way to force slam opposite club control. We can still get to seven when that is right.

Partner could have ♠AJxx ♥AKQxxx ♦- ♣Qxx or ♠AJxx ♥AKQJxx ♦x ♣Qx

It's not as if they will make the wrong lead, and it doesn't cost to find out.
