Ok, I chose to rebid 3♦ and partner bid 5♦. From the diagram you can see it had little play with opponents taking the first three tricks in hearts and another two in diamonds.

East is dealer.

Hand played on BBO. All players have expert status in their profile and sayc is agreed between NS. Simple question, is 3♣ forcing and if so what do you bid?
