A downhole motor (19) is mounted in a drill pipe (13) above a hole enlarger (14) intermediate ends of the pipe (13). The motor drives a lower pilot bit (28). A split flow bypass device (24) above the motor (19) allows part of the flow to drive the motor and the remainder to bypass through a central passage, the divided flows rejoining below the motor (19) with a restricted flow through jet nozzles (32) to the hole enlarger cutter (15). Flow passes centrally of the output shaft (26), past a bleed valve (34) bleeding up to 5% to an outer shaft space for lubricating bearings (30), to flow restrictor jet nozzles (33) of the pilot bit (28). In use flow is controlled to drive the motor (19) to drive the pilot bit (28) at desired speed and the drill string is rotated from the rotary platform of a drill rig to drive the hole enlarger (14) so that the hydraulic requirements of the hole enlarger (14) and the pilot bit (28) are met while only allowing sufficient fluid to pass through the motor (19) to give the required output speed at the pilot bit (28).
