All 3 balls are frozen to cushions, how to play?

I got the same carome as above on my pool table. But couldnt get to the first long rail

Must be a helluva shot to get a direct carom.

I never play 3 c, but i can "imagine" i might know. Since the red is in the corner, its a big target. I would thin cut on the whitey, the yelow should hit the midle of the short rail, and then 3/4 more rails into the red ball.
Medium to strong shot, touch of top spin.
Edit:
Of course, i would play that on my slow 9ft pool table.

Just as an aside, when the red is frozen in the corner my experience is that it isn't a big target, it's a pretty small target.

And when a ball is near a rail, it is a big target, but when it is touching a rail it is smaller.

One disadvantage to the 4-cushion shot is that it takes the opponent off the cushion. An alternative shot that doesn't do that is to play a little to the right of white to the far end rail with left side, and back along nearly the same path. Short-short-long-white. You have a roughly natural angle to red off the white and if you miss it completely, it's still frozen.
