Neat hand (8)

I believe the answer is:

straight

This clue is a double definition.

'neat' is the first definition.
('straight' can be a synonym of 'neat')

'hand' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for straight that I've seen before include "Unswerving" , "Plain-speaking" , "Poker hand of 5 consecutive cards" , "Respectable" , "Without curve or bend" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Independent.
