I would have bid 2♥ over 1♠
5♥ and be ready to apologise.

I think you need to show your heart support at the first turn, whether that means you double 1♠ (playing support doubles) or you bid 2♥ (if not).

We are at a complete guess right now and I'm guessing to bid 6♥, since partner has been so lively opposite our total silence.

Our insane silence on previous round has let us known that we have ♦532 opposite a long suit with no discards avaible.

So we probably have 1 diamond loser, where is the other? Partner has a 6/5 or 5/6. If he has a loser in spades he is 100%sure of having solid diamonds.

All that rests is to find the best strain for slam. LHO made a splinter in hearts, this makes me think6 ♦ might be best, but not if it gets ruffed on first trick!

I will bid 6♥ and apologice if partner is void in spades and cold for 7.
