By the time they noticed the gear (if they did at all) the most they would do is advise him to 'Check three greens'.

I suspect that the aircraft was flying a visual circuit and advised ATC that they would make a 'low approach and go around', which is what you say for the tapes when you're going to beat the airfield up.
