Herschel surveys have found large numbers of sources with red far-IR colours, and spectral energy distributions (SEDs) rising from 250 to 500 µm: 500 risers. The nature and role of these sources is not fully understood. We here present Submillimeter Array (SMA) interferometric imaging at 200 GHz of a complete sample of five 500 risers with F500 >44 mJy selected within a 4.5 deg² region of the XMMLSS field. These observations can resolve the separate components of multiple sources and allow cross identification at other wavelengths using the extensive optical-to-IR data in this field. Of our five targets, we find that two are likely gravitationally lensed, two are multiple sources, and one an isolated single source. Photometric redshifts, using optical-to-IR data and far-IR/submm data, suggest they lie at redshifts $z \sim 2.5\!-\!3.5$. Star formation rates and stellar masses estimated from the SEDs show that the majority of our sources lie on the star-formation rate-stellar mass 'main sequence', though with outliers both above and below this relation. Of particular interest is our most multiple source, which consists of three submm emitters and one submm-undetected optical companion within a 7 arcsec region, all with photometric redshifts ∼3. One of the submm emitters in this group lies above the 'main sequence', while the optical companion lies well below the relation, and has an estimated stellar mass of $3.3 \pm 1.3 \times 10^{11}$ M$_{\odot }$. We suggest this object is a forming brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the process of accreting actively star forming companions.
