By day it would be fine so long as you stay your 300ft or 400ft above obstacles. But by night, since you would be now doing a circling procedure, you must be at 2570ft, and that means loosing visual conditions and having to commence a MAP.
You should not be high on the approach in the first place (especialy in this case when you only need to loose 800ft in 2/3min!) so i think you would just need to bite the bullet and go try again and get it right.
