Default Cutting Worktops

I need to replace two sinks (kitchen and utility). Due to the new ones
being 30mm wider (front to back) than the existing ones I need to enlarge
the holes. I do not want to disturb the worktops and tiles so I would like
to cut them in situ(?). Has anybody ever done this and if so what is the
best method. I have a range of power tools but because of the distance from
the wall to the back of the sink I cannot get in with my router or jigsaw.
I have a Rotazip type tool that may do it but I don't think the cutters in
these things are up to cutting 40mm thick worktops. Can anybody offer any
advice or am I looking at a hand saw job?

TIA

Yep, I think it will be a hand job. A Rotozip type thing is not
going to be man enough for this, I don't think.

Is it too close at the back to get in a circular saw?

Hopefully the sink will cover any slight wanderings away for the line
though.
