You COULD make a Splinter Bid with this hand. You have a singleton and great trump support. However it is usually not worthwhile Splintering when you have the strong hand that will be taking control. Since what you really want to know is how many Aces partner has you just ask him with a 4NT bid.
Partner answers 5. What do you bid?
