If it looked likely that the auction was going to become competitive, I'd try 4C in order to involve partner in the 5 over 4 decision. But the way the auction occurred at the table, it looks clear to just raise to 4H.

South didn't raise diamonds - North is not going to bid again. What competition do you anticipate? Do you think you are going to be on lead to 6♠ any time soon? Do you think you have a difficult decision as to whether or not you should bid 5 over 5?

He very much implied that it wasn't a competitive auction. The first sentence was more referring to something like 1S-P-2S-3H-3S where you might bid 4C to help partner decide what to do over 4S.

When competing over a pre-empt you assume partner will have some values - say about 8 HCP. Partner has probably already bid our values.

If partner has fitting values in clubs, we might make game. But my partners tend to have club shortage when I bid on in this situation.

Yes passing risks missing a vulnerable game, but I want a bit more to go on.
