I would bid 4♥. 3♥ isn't forcing in standard methods.

yeah 4♥, it is hard to explore slam, and the auction is gonna get violent soon.

Bidding 2♠ will gather infor towards diamonds stopped by partner, if he doesn't stop them you ahve a decent gamble in 6♥

Hi,

Given your options - 4H.

An reasonable alternative is 4D, a splinter (showing diamond shortage),
of course this basically kills your chances to play 4H, since the splinter
will set clubs as trumps.

With kind regards
Marlowe

PS (Added later): An other alternative is 5H, which would be something like
a quantitative invite to 6H. 5H would ask p, how he likes his hand.
In the context of the bidding, he should have a look at his heart and his club
holdings, if he likes, what he is seeing, he should bid 6H.
With kind regards

4♥ for me, though I think I'm a bit heavy for it.
OK
