6S punt. I dont see that we have room to do anything intelligent.

5♦ if partner does nothing other than 5♥ I bid 6♠, if they bid a black suit I bid the grand, the interesting question is what I do if they bid 6♥, prob just bid 6♠.

I like the 5!D suggestion
Identifying a fit is really important
Agree with 6!S over 5!H

Perhaps 5nt pick a slam (raising 6♣ to 7♣ and bidding 7♠ otherwise).

I bid 6♠, the same as what jillybean and pilowsky stated in their replies.
--- It lost me a few IMPs because other players in South position jumped straight to 7♠.
--- I checked later: approx. 50% were in 6♠, 30%-35% in 7♠ and most others were in 4♠/5♠.
If I was playing with a regular partner, I would have considered bidding 5♦. However, I probably would land up bidding a direct 6♠. awm's 5NT sounds better than 5♦ but it did not even occur to me during the session.
North had ♠10x ♥AKQ9xx ♦xx ♣J98. When trumps split 3-1 and clubs were not 5-0, 7♠ rolled in without even needing those heart winners.
