You certainly can.
If your glosswork is in good enough condition, gently, use a fine 400 grit wet'n'dry sandpaper, whilst washing down with a light solution of sugar soap and sponge clean.
Apply either Dulux Once or Crown Solo gloss, pouring a small amount out of your original tin (replace the lid) into a clean working tin.
They're both self undercoating.

Id rather use undercoat myself as the 'Growl' says though...rub it down anyway.
Undercoat adheres differently to self undercoating gloss...allthough it should be ok if you wan to cut down on a coat of paint and save time.
As soon as I saw the title of this thread I thought 'here we go again'...
The debate will rage on ... the pros and cons etc..
All i'll say in answer to the question is 'if you want'
