Assuming ♦8 is honest and singleton, win, cash trump A and concede the ♦K.
Win the return in dummy and draw Easts trump(s) by running diamonds.

I don't think this can be made if the lead is singleton. I'll go up with the ace and pray the king drops. Now take a trump finesse and the contract will be either +1 or -2/3

It is impossible to have much confidence in any answer without knowing the auction. In addition, one needs to know the calibre of the opps. Depending on the auction, a strong LHO may have good reason to lead a diamond from K8 or even K8x.

The opps were surely in the auction with all their black cards. Playing the diamond Ace to guard against the 8 being stiff makes little sense. You can't pull trump, even with a winning finesse, since they cash spades when they win the diamond K. You play the diamond Ace to drop rho's presumed stiff king. This is why you need to be able to assess LHO, the auction, and whether LHO may be able to work out that he needs to lead from the K.

Has LHO made a cunning lead or does RHO hold ♦K?
If RHO has doubleton ♦K, then you seem to be doomed :(

I guess to finesse.
If you finesse ♦Q and that loses to singleton ♦K, all is not necessarily lost :)
You still succeed when RHO has ♥Kx.

I actually had this second line and choose it as the first one was missing the 2nd d entry and -3 :D
