Recapitulating on the beating (5-4)

I believe the answer is:

going-over

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'recapitulating on' is the wordplay.
'recapitulating' becomes 'going' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'on' becomes 'over' (over can mean on top of).
'going'+'over'='GOING-OVER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for going-over that I've seen is " Check, examination".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
