4heart stands out. The fleetingly seductive attraction of mentioning your spade tolerance should be completely ignored - this is a hand for playing in your seven card suit - especially as partner is likely to have at least two.

OK, so partner doesn't have two - but you can still prevail. West unexpectedly leads spade8 and East unexpectedly drops the queen. How do you play?
