A320 missed approach from above missed approach alt

Hi all,

Just trying to get my head around how to fly a missed approach from above missed approach alt on the airbus......

Say I'm happily trundling down an ILS, missed approach alt set in the FCU at 2000ft and I'm instructed to go around at 2800ft. To my mind, I could pull v/s at current rate which would then arm ALT which would capture at 2000ft. I think the lateral mode would revert to HDG. If I pushed for managed NAV would it then continue along the missed approach path? Obviously I haven't (and wouldn't want to) select thrust levers to TOGA at any point so the flight plan wouldn't have sequenced to the go-around phase. What are the implications of this? Would the arrival airport drop out as I fly over the threshold?

Any help appreciated!

Cheers
