I think you need to repeat H which will let you reach the potential H game that 3N would prevent. Plus you still have time to play 3N.

We agree..at least it is a decent 5 card suit and I am really concerned with being set off the top in 3NT by a ♠ lead.

With my IRL p I would pass, with a slightly stronger 3♦ style I would bid 3♥.

I'd surely go on to game here, passing is out.
Close between 3♥ and 3NT. The decider for me is that 3♥ might wrongside 3NT. So I'll go for 3NT.
Kind regards,
Harald

3♥, but with Kx KJ9xx xx J10xxx I'd bid 3NT.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

3H. Not quite sure why partner playing it is 'wrongsiding' unless you really don't trust his declarer play.

I think it is close between pass and GF action. I'd probably bid 3H, which is forcing, of course. Some partners might take 3H as a 6-card suit, tho. I might try 4C instead of 3H, but that by-passes 3N. 3N would not occur to me without a diam honor. If opener can't bid 3N over 3H, we don't belong there.

Normally nothing wrong with partner's declarer play. For some 'odd' reason the singleton ♠K bother me.
Kind regards,

singleton king is for sure the right side to play the spades from, so 3N is wrongsided if partner declares it.

I bid 3NT as well; will not play pard for three hearts that I need for an easier 4H game. That, and it solves any potential diamond/club ruff.
