Crossword Genius

Go over tries again, against English (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rehearse

'go over' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'tries again against english' is the wordplay.
'tries again' becomes 'rehears' ('hears' can be a synonym for 'tries' so perhaps 'rehears' is OK for 'tries again').
'against' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'rehears'+'e'='REHEARSE'

(Other definitions for rehearse that I've seen before include "Practise before performing in public" , "What actor does to prepare for play" , "Practise - run through" , "Recite - try out" , "Practice a play" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
