Not much to think about, slam is almost a certainty. If *standard-ish* 
includes splinters, 4D.    If no splinter in system and 3H would be 
non-forcing, then close your eyes and RKC.  If no RKC, then close your
eyes 
and use the ole Blackwood.  If not sure which aceask is part of system,
then 
close your eyes and bid 6H.  Partner did afterall make a 2/1 response and
we 
have a 9-card trump fit so even with poor 5-card hearts, there might be a 
2-2 split.
