I could find nothing so I used a Medusa wrap. Then multi-coloring on 4 and a flightless XY-Wing on 145 finished it up.

Thanks Danny. I never played the UR because it didn't look productive. I either had a different grid or just plain missed the coloring on 4. After the Medusa wrap I found coloring to force r8c1<>4, then that XY-Wing you show pivoted in r8c1 was what I used to finish.
