What's the best way to bid this?

Should I just bid 4♥ or is my hand too good for that?

I think it's too good. If partner has a limit raise, the five level should be safe. If he has more, you should be in slam, if he has sufficient black suit controls. I'm not sure what to bid though.

while we are favorites to make slam if p has say
AJT xxx xxxx Axx that's a pretty darn small target.
I would trot out my handy splinter

4d

and if p can muster a cue bid beyond 4h I will then decide how to
proceed since the 5 level should be safe. If they sign off in 4h i will be
satisfied.
