New test run charge (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entrust

'charge' is the definition.
(as in entrusting or charging someone with a task)

'new test run' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'test'+'run'='testrun'
'testrun' with letters rearranged gives 'ENTRUST'.

(Other definitions for entrust that I've seen before include "Commit (for safety)" , "Consign" , "Assign (a responsibility to someone)" , "Commend" , "Confide" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
