Yes, double.

Of course there is a chance I will be dancing and my blots will be hit. But I think this is the right moment. I'm 3-0 behind, have a shot and a nice board. It's worth the risk, a nice chance for a come-back. Or for at least getting one point if you pass.

Spoiler
The take point at 2-away 5-away is 30% GWC.  Think we have a 30% chance here?  Looks closer to 40% to me.

Gammons count, and the position is slightly gammonish but not enough to entice me to drop the cube.  Take.
