you are buying the 1♥ scape from a player with 4 cards at most too soon Ken.
Even if you get it, partner is likelly doubling it rather than RHO raising. You can bid 2♣ then if you wish.

Huh?
If partner has four hearts, and Opener has at most four hearts, then Responder has four hearts also. I think the odds of a raise are actually quite high.
I also have too much strength to expect a good chance that partner will double 1♥. He looks to be average, IMO.
So, I still think passing leaves us with a what-to-do problem over 2♥.
What??! How many hearts can responder have here? Forget about opener. And they haven't run yet.
And even if they do, I think the 1♥ run (as opposed to a SOS xx) followed by a 2♥ raise in a penalty sequence is just too far-fetched to worry about.
