Makes sense with load put through stone when working (6,2,6)
I believe the answer is:
stands to reason
'makes sense' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'with load put through stone when working' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'with' could be 'and' and 'and' is located in the answer.
'put' could be 'store' (storing is a kind of putting) and 'store' is present in the answer.
'stone' could be 'st' and 'st' is present in the answer.
'when' could be 'on' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'on' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'as' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
(Other definitions for stands to reason that I've seen before include "obvious" , "What a barrister does" .)
