XX* - (1♠) - P - (P)
2♦ - (P) - ?

* = exactly three hearts

2H.

My reason is, that I will face a sure single in spades,
which will allow me to ruff spades, my partner is facing
only a doubleton in clubs, 2H will sound like a 5-3 fit.
Of course we did not get doubled yet, so pass is maybe the
wiser auction.

With kind regards

2♥ my trumps suck for the 4-3 contract, but I hope partner will rectify to 3♣ if he's got the 0346. 3♣ would be too high for 7 trumps, and I am not passing a forcing bid.

Bid 2♥ so YOU get to play. Actually this will allow you to ruff ♠ in the short ♥ hand whereas 2♦ will ruff ♠ with the long suit
