Polled 5 of my buddies on this one got 5 different bids!
IMO best among them was 4NT RKC for , seems quite reasonable, but what about the dreaded 4-4-3-2.

Is there a way to probe at this level?

Blasting 4N doesn't make sense, because If we get answer of 1 or 4, then we're none the wiser about partner's hand. Of course, with a 5 or 5 response, we might be able to roll it in with a finesse in trumps.

I think X is probably the best action, so we can now workout exactly where we want to be. If they bid spades a 4-3 fit might be playable.

X keeps our options open,whereas any forcing 4N, 4H, 4C could just get messy.
