Mark the new circle, and drill lots of small holes all the way around, then knock it out with a small cold chisel?
It doesn't have to be mega-neat, but if you want it perfect then you could try the wood & core drill idea, but I'm not sure about that - as you drill through, of any of the existing brickwork falls away, and the piece of wood comes loose then it will all go horribly wrong.
Safest way would be to properly fill in the old hole and drill a new one nearby.

the idea of the mdf is you cant use the pilot rod so it keeps the core cutter in the right place
try opening up a hole without a pilot it's
interesting

got the curtains shut
you cut the hole in the mdf
you screw the mdf to the wall over the existing hole
you place the core drill in the hole in said mdf
you start the drill and produce a nice clean hole
without the core cutter bouncing about all over the shop
if i didnt know better kendor i would swear your trying to wind me up

The mdf wants to be on the same side you are drilling from to guide the core bit. You can use the same technique with a hole cutter, just fix a piece of mdf over the hole which is too small the drill through both at the same time.
