Vortex wake in the circuit

The (hypothetical) situation is this:

A light aircraft in the visual circuit reports downwind, and is told he is number two to a 747 on final, caution vortex wake, recommended spacing is eight miles. The pilot acknowledges, and proceeds to turn in close behind the 747, with obviously less than the recommended gap.

Send him around, or let him continue?
