You have consulted partner and she didn't say anything, so you should therefore be disciplined and accept your fate. No doubt 5club would be doubled if you bid it - and you certainly wouldn't be making eleven tricks on this bidding. Besides - you might even beat 4spade! Partner leads club5, you win with club10 and cash the ace, on which partner drops heart3 - showing an odd number.
