I think that there is a reasonable inference that lho has the diamond ace from the lead. I have no difficulty if hearts are 2-2. Problem layouts are hands like lho having KQT Qxx Axx T9xx. In this case one heart and the diamond K is necessary (as the heart removes their one safe exit - a lot heart). The club 8 in dummy is a massive card given the club lead. Given that its a RHM problem it seems like this type of extra chance is likely the answer....

After one heart and the diamond K, if rho wins and plays a spade I have no chance but to play lho for HT or H9 doubleton. I can do this only by ruffing two diamonds and two clubs and exiting with my heart. Being careful to draw the second round of trumps early-ish.
