New Order

Trained by Charlie Longsdon at his yard in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, New Order is part of a operation that has been firing on all cylinders — 34 winners sent out this season alone, which is the kind of number that tells you Longsdon knows what he's doing. The horse's most trusted partner in the saddle is David Bass, and their record together is genuinely striking: 3 wins from 9 races, meaning they win together 1 in every 3 times they team up. That is an exceptional ratio, and it's the sort of partnership where you sit up and pay attention when you see Bass booked for the ride.

New Order is an 8-year-old who got off the mark for the first time at Warwick back in December 2024, then followed it up with a win at Sandown Park in March 2025. Sandown is one of the more demanding tracks in Britain — a proper test of a horse — so winning there carries real weight. The most recent victory came 13 months ago now, and the last six runs read 6, pulled up, 2, 3, 2, 5. There is plenty of placed form in there — two runner-up finishes — but the win has dried up, and the pulled-up run is a flag worth noting.

Most of New Order's racing has come at Class 4 level, which sits in the middle of the pack in terms of competition. The record there is modest: 1 win from 6 races, or roughly 1 in 6. Having raced just three days ago, New Order is clearly being kept busy, and at 8 years old this is a horse whose the yard know well. The question now is whether the combination of David Bass, a track that suits, and Charlie Longsdon's in-form yard can unlock that elusive next win.
