Please let us know who the dealer is so we can try to get a start on the auction.

I assume that the vulnerabilty is none.

The lie of the cards is quite favorable. The ♠A is onside, but that may not even be necessary, as the AQ of diamonds comes down third. Give North one more diamond and the slam may be next to impossible on a club lead even with the spade Ace onside.

I don't think that this is a slam that I would want to bid.

How can the bidding go if all 4 players are using SAYC?

P - 1♠ - 2♥ - X
P - 4♣ - P - 5♣
probably my auction

or east will bid 3♣ over 2♥ and west will make some strong bid, but they'll still probably get to 5

P - 1♠ - 2♥ - 3♣
p - 3♥ (strong club raise)

gives you a chance ie. if east now cue bids 4♥ west might just blast 6♣

As Art points out the slam is pretty iffy but it's a LOT better than 3nt :o .
