The filly FIRST SMILE can make use of her allowance after a comprehensive victory on Polytrack at Lingfield in October. Barber Of Seville landed a Catterick maiden for John Gosden while stable companion Topper Bill also won on the North Yorkshire track for Adrian Nicholls. First Prophet made a successful debut at Newbury for Charlie Fellowes but failed to build on that success while the former French-trained Farfar was beaten a long way at Jebel Ali last month.
