5H.
The problem with 5D is that neither likely response (5H or 5S) tells you
want you want to know - has partner got good trumps, the club ace and the
diamond K?
Slam is a fair chance so I would like to have another go. I see benefit
in
5H because partner will think we are missing the diamond ace so will bid
slam with the cards we need (good trumps, club ace, diamond K) but
hopefully
stop if missing one of those.
