What do you bid next?

Again partner is inviting you to bid game. He wants you to bid it if you are at the top of your 6-10 range, and he wants you to particularly promote any Help you can give him in ♣s.

You are at the bottom of your range and you have no help in ♣s, so you just return to ♠s. Partner passes.
