1:30 would be a strong showing off a 19:45
Then again, how comfortable was the 5k?
I'd still say give it a go. Make sure that you don't go out too fast - can be easy to spring out at 4min/k and then pay for it later.
Last HM I did was 1.26 (a PB) and my 5k was probably around 18:30 then, but that's just a finger in the air as I'd not done any races at all. I made a point of not bringing my watch as I didn't really know where my form was. Was careful to not go out too hard then just ran on feel and was pleasantly surprised.
