Try again to wound (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gore

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

'try again' is the wordplay.
'try' becomes 'go' (go is a kind of try).
'again' becomes 're'.
'go'+'re'='GORE'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for gore that I've seen before include "Make a hole in" , "stuff from part of Kensington" , "Blood; stab with tusk" , "Clotted blood" , "Blood that's been shed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
