gotta love those preempts spice of life sort of stuff. I will guess at 5d since that is the least likely contract to get x if it is the wrong choice and still gives us a chance to get to slam when it is possible. Not enough stuff to cue bid. Too many values to make a hugely tepid 4d bid.

3nt. Someone has a heart stopper. And I'm running if doubled, unless partner plays XX = doubts (not my preference).
"I suggest a chapter on "strongest dummy opposite my free bids." For example, someone might wonder how I once put this hand down as dummy in a spade contract: AQ10xxx void AKQxx KQ. Did I start with Michaels? Did I cuebid until partner was forced to pick one of my suits? No, I was just playing with Brian (6S made when the trump king dropped singleton)." David Wright

The problem with 3NT is that partner might be the one holding Kx, but that's no good for 3NT played our way.

I'm going with the agricultural 5D. Might be one too many, but at least I get a game bonus if it's right.
