4NT quantitative
4C here is not a slam try in H for most people, but a splinter.

One of us is misreading the auction. The posted hand is North - the NT bidder.

And yes - 4; try slam.

4 cue bid on the way to 4 which suggests at least mild slam interest and sets s as trump. Your hand has controls in both the outside suits and great fitting cards in both of partner's suits. You have a lot of the prerequisites for a slam with the 2 suited fit you know exists.

Not only am I bidding 4 but I reckon I'm kicking again if he signs off in 4.

4 , easy. I cannot see many hands, where the five level is not safe, so I may not pass 4 , but luckily I do not need to think too hard about that now...
