Decided to try an Irish Red for my second brew. Would like any thoughts on the recipe I've drawn up.

Grain Bill
6 lbs. Light DME
1/2 lb. C20 (Steeped)
1 lb. C60 (Steeped)
2 oz. Roasted Barley (Steeped)

Hops
2 oz. UK Fuggles (60 min)
1 1/2 oz. UK Goldings (10 min)

Yeast
White Labs Irish Ale (WLP004)

Per my calculations (doing a 3 gallon boil, then topping off to 5 gallons), I should have an OG of 1.054 and around 24 IBUs. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
 
Looks pretty solid. I went with C40 and C60 when I brewed mine recently, and also 4 oz of Roasted Barley. Turned out a bit darker than "red" but nevertheless, very drinkable. But that was also AG. I say go for it.
