Get the runner going with 24/21.  Then it's a question of whether to play it safe with 8/6 or to unstack the bloated midpoint with 13/11.  At a score where gammons mattered I might be hesitant to leave a blot on the 11, but gammon losses are almost meaningless for us, and  there are only 6 shots.  I'll unstack.

24/21 13/11

After more than a day, fewer votes have been cast than usual. There's only one vote between the two favoured candidate moves so I'll leave this poll open for a while longer. Roll up, folks, more votes welcome!
