I have 2♦ artificial on this auction so mine would continue like this (for the 3NT one):
1♣-1♥
2♣-2♦!
3♦-3♥
3NT
2♦ is artificial, essentially a relay, forcing to game.
3♦ is natural, denies three hearts.
3♥ is natural, shows the extra heart.
3NT shows 1 or less heart and a stopper in spades. 3♠ would've been the "you bid NT if you've got the stopper" bid.
1♣-1♥
2♣-2♦!
3♦-3♥

Hi,
3D, althouh playing MP, 2D looking for a heart fit would be ok as well.
3D does not ruleout playing 4H, if partner showes a top honor in hearts, you
can still suggest 4H as a possible alternative contract.
With kind regards
Marlowe

what are the conditions? MP or IMP, Vul?
at MPs i would just bid 3♣ showing a fit, a ♥suit and about 10-12 total points. true, my hand is slightly better but I dont want to commit to game. any bid, that rules out 3nt is very bad. 2♦ is a possible alternative though on the agressive side.
at IMPs (especially vul), we belong in game. 2♦ is best but continuation is difficult.

I think you mean "at bridge we belong in game".

You never showed Kxxx support in clubs?
I don't feel good about passing 3nt with such good clubs and partner can still have such a wide range hand.
Also not sure about 3h when I have a 6-4 fit and possible club slam.
