Double of a Cuebid (Stolen Bid) - A Double of opponents' Cuebid at
a high-level auction may be intended to be a lead-directing double, although
it may prescribe a lead of another suit.

2 Hearts = Transfer to
Spades.
The double asks partner to lead a Heart |
|
(1H) - P - (4C) - X |
4 Clubs = Splinter, showing Hearts and Club
shortness.
Since it would be unwise to lead to or from a Club Ace, here a double
asks for a lead in Diamonds or Spades (depending on partnership
agreement). With favorable vulnerability, the double asks partner
to consider a sacrifice in opponents' short suit. |
