5♥
Since
♠x
♥KQxxx
♦xxx
♣Axxx
(and other combinations; partner might even hold the ♠A)
is a pretty good slam, I have to make a try. I expect the five level to be reasonably safe. Of course, if partner bids 6 on the basis of ♠Kx, we're going down.

pass for me. I don't like that RHO passed. I see how little we need for slam and how close we are to 5 level safety but all in all I'm happy to play in 4♥.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Partner held:
♠J
♥KQJ653
♦T82
♣A63
I passed. Immediately realized how timid that was and regretted it. Ah well.
