No, nothing clear to bid, particularly at red. I'll keep quiet and hope to surprise them with my defence (i.e. cards, not ability to play them).

Why on earth would I bid red vs white? To tell declarer that I have almost all of the missing HCP? To tell partner what to lead when I really can't be sure what I want him to lead?

OK I'd like a lead, but I might go for 800 or even more here in 3X when the opps may be set in 4 anyhow or had I not bid.

Thinking of bidding is crazy, although jumping into a Jacoby sequence frequently pays off.
