Cash the trumps ace.
If trumps are 2-1 but no king, duck a club.
If trumps are 3-0 continue trumps.
If they do not switch to diamonds, duck a club.
If they switch to diamonds, duck.
Then win the continuation and run trumps hoping for an unlikely minor suit squeeze by keeping diamonds in dummy.
On some continuations like a second diamond you can use a third trump to dummy to ruff the third diamond before running trumps, improving your chances.

agree with rhm except for if trumps 30 and lho wins the 2nd round and
plays a dia I would insert the 9 ducking only if rho inserts the T. If rho inserts the
K or Q I would win the dia and lead another dia hoping lho began with HT(xx).
