MPs. Choose what you'd actually call first, but after that, does it affect your decision that P is relatively inexperienced and might take X-then-5D (over 5C) as strength, rather than ELC.

torn between x and 5d but I definitely wouldn't pass and I dont see it as a sacrifice, surely we're going to have game on quite a lot of the time here?

Hate to let the opps push us around and our bet shot at game looks like 4s but we need p to bid them to play there. No guarantees with this bid but at least it looks reasonable and it is only 1 board at MP. 5d just plain seems too unilateral and is more likely to get x than a 4s contract.

x = 7 p = 5 4s = 3 5d = 3

Double.

The chance to defend 4Hx or play 4S is worth the risk of a bad score if partner has long clubs.

Double. I am not enamored with this bid, mostly due to the poor quality of my spade suit, but we have no better alternatives.
