HE CAN GIVE IT TO THEM STRAIGHT

Lyons' star set to provide the winning Answer at Naas today

-  RYAN MCELLIGOTT

STRAIGHT ANSWER can set the record straight in the Group 3 Goffs Lacken Stakes which headlines a quality card at Naas this afternoon.

This Ger Lyons-trained son of Kodiac was beaten by New York City when making his return to action at Navan last month.

That showing would suggest Straight Answer has something to find but it is worth recalling New York City has fitness on his side having won the previous month.

It is likely to be tight between the pair once more but Straight Answer is tipped to return to the form that made him such an exciting juvenile last autumn.

He looked a high class performer when bolting up in the Blenheim Stakes at Fairyhouse in September and a return to that level could make him hard to beat.
