P=P=1S=(2H)
4H=(5H)=6S

Seems straight forward


4h=passed hand splinter in h.

much more worried about missing laydown grand slam.

There is a good chance of bidding slam if south bids 4♥. In fact I think north would be disappointed that there is no grand.

I think we're all agreed that the South hand is too strong for 4♠. But is the ♥ shortage more important news than the 4 ♦ tricks? I realise not everyone plays them, but my first thoughts were that South should start with a fit jump of 4♦

Either 4D (fit jump) or 4H by South should do the trick - see mike777's auction.
