Hide a lot too much (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cover

'hide' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a lot too much' is the wordplay.
'a lot' becomes 'c' (**).
'too much' becomes 'over' (I've seen this before).
'c'+'over'='COVER'

(Other definitions for cover that I've seen before include "Conceal, screen" , "Disguise" , "Extend over (an area)" , "Fielder" , "Lid or shelter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
