What should I Bid? - Best enquiry for November 2002

The best November submission came from another regular user of this service, David Kalnins.

Hand:  

ª AQ9
© 42
¨ 103
§ QJ10742
 
Nil vulnerable, partner is dealer
Bidding: West North East South
  -- 1H 2D ?

Comments:
Playing a strong NT opening, 5 card majors, negative doubles to 4H.

And David's Response:

Hi David,
Double may work best.
If partner bids 2S I will now bid 3C - which should show long clubs and not too many values. Unfortunately the auction may get unwieldy if there is more bidding from the opponents or partner.
The alternatives seem to be a forcing 3C and I am not keen on this option, or, the only other choice is pass. If I pass I am not sure how best to proceed if partner bids again - a double for example would give me an even worse headache.
All the best,
David Beauchamp
