What should you bid ?
( 7 ). 6 Clubs

Your partner has promised a solid minor and 7 tricks, hoping that you have stoppers in the other suits. As you don't, then you'll need to play in the minor, since you'll be slaughtered in Spades. Clubs obviously. You have 3 tricks in diamonds, one in hearts making 11 altogether. The extra one will come about if partner has a second Spade for you to ruff. Pretty good chance.
