This subject is a popular one every year or so. This isn't rocket science, well, maybe it is.

It. Is. A. Visual. Approach. If you can't maintain visual, don't take the clearance. If you have to go around, due to separation or fouled up landing, go! Tell ATC, "on the overshoot, request a closed pattern.". ATC will say, either, "cleared closed, report base" or "maintain runway headin, climb xxxx, call approach on 1xx.xx".

Why would ATC expect you to fly the miss for an approach you didn't fly, nor were cleared for? Only ardent followers of the magenta line need to worry about a procedure that neither exists, nor is needed.
