Club lead feels right.

I also like a club lead.

But I guess I'm assuming partner would be able to bid 4♣ or something if we have slam on, rather than a takeout double.

It seems the pass brigade is taking charge. I happened to also choose pass. However, I think it's close and a couple of world class players I asked did not choose pass. They said "These are the only colors where it's a problem hand."

I agree with them, 4♣ seems like a good option at this vulnerability althou it would be a headache for partner.

Partner didn't need to double to rescue us, our double is penalty at the 3 level, so he is suposed to have a good hand and not just any hand with a void, but if he doesn't have 5 diamonds or 6 spades the hand won't be great because we will lack tricks/trumps.

I also pick pass and lead ♣10

I'm not so quick to pass. Depending on the strength of partner's hand, we rate to do quite well opposite 6(43)0 or the nuts 5440.

4♣ for me.

My instinct was to pass too.

But what is the worst hand partner may hold?

Is Kxxxx, AKxx, AQxx, - a normal hand for his bid? Vul. forcing us to the third level?
And this is a slam,you may even take all the tricks.
I try 4♣ and bid 4 ♠ over partners bid if possible or 6 ♠ over 4 ♠ from him.
Kind Regards

Over to you.
IMO _P =10, 4♣ = 5.
It is dangerous too rely on the bidding of non-vul opponents. Partner's hand may be 5431 or even 5332 shape.
