Drumbeat adds to O'Brien's two-year-old roll of honour

Drumbeat added further depth to Aidan O'Brien's Classic battalion for next year in earning quotes of 14-1 for the Derby after landing the Criterium de Saint-Cloud at the Paris track.

The Wootton Bassett colt - wide-margin winner of the Zetland Stakes at Newmarket last time out - looked short of room at a crucial stage of the race under Ryan Moore, but burst through a gap to lead approaching a furlong and a half out.
