If you play Reverse Drury there is only one way to do that, so you bid 2♣. Partner rebids 2♦. What do you say next?

If you play Reverse Drury there is only one way to do that, so you bid 2♣. Partner rebids 2♦. What do you say next? The 2♦ rebid shows a hand that partner would have opened in any position. So here it gets a little ambiguous. Surely a jump to 3♠ would be forcing, but to keep the possibility of misunderstandings low a jump to 4♠ is no doubt safer. After all, you can revalue your hand up to 13 points in support of ♠s.  Deal 4
