4♠. This hand is why that bid exists.

It's a "LAW" bid. In a competitive auction, it is usually right to compete to the number of tricks that match your number of trump. Since you know your side has 10 Trump (and no slam exploring to do) jump to 4♠ right away. Make it harder for ops to find fit in case they do have slam exploring to do.

Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

4S - this is a weak distributional bid. If you were strong you'd cue raise.
