Scoring: XIMP

(P)-1♠-(2NT)-3♥
(4♣)-?


Your partner's 3H bid is natural, constructive and non-forcing.

What do you do over 4C?

Asking for partner to have 3 keycards for his NF bid is too much. Given his suit is so weak I would guess he has a 6 card suit so I will try 4H. It is possible 4S plays better but I don't know how to find out (4D would be a slam try to me, not choice of majors).

4D if you really want to play slam, 4H otherwise.

Here is the full hand:

4S is easy to make. After a diamond lead, 4H is likely to be impossible.

Is this just too difficult to get right?

The singleton J of spades makes it easy, but 4S is still a favorite as long as partner has 1 or more spades of any rank along with the HK and a minor suit ace. That is not too much to ask for.
