Partner responds 2♠. What do you bid next?


Partner has 8+ points and a good 5-card ♠ suit.
You are absolutely sure you will go to slam, and right now the only thing you want to know is how many Aces are in partner's hand. So you use Blackwood 4NT.
Partner answers 5. What is your bid?

Obviously you could bid 7♠. But in fact you can count that there will be thirteen top tricks without a ruff; 5 ♠s, 2 s, 3 s and 3 ♣s. So you might as well bid 7NT.
(By the way, the people who bid 7♠ got the opening ♣ lead ruffed!)
