La Luna Artista was left to come home alone in the Ladbrokes Adonis Juvenile Hurdle at Kempton.
The Jane Williams-trained filly had won two of her three outings over timber, finishing just over four lengths behind Maestro Conti in fifth last time out.
She was sent off a 15-2 chance in the Grade Two and travelled supremely well into contention, still going better than the favourite Precious Man when he took a bad fall at the second-last.
La Luna Artista was unextended in winning by 13 lengths from Harry Derham’s One Horse Town.
Williams told Racing TV: “I thought she was up against it on the ratings today, but then I suppose I knew a bit more about her than anyone else.
“She hasn’t been hard trained this year and I thought she looked better today than she did at Cheltenham, where I thought she was unlucky as she got stuck in the mud turning in, she should have been third.
“I thought we’d be second if I was honest today, she’s a nice big filly, I buy horses and pages that I like the look of.
“She’s not in the Triumph, she’s got the Fred Winter entry but that can be a graveyard for some horses. We won’t supplement for the Triumph.
“She’s going to go chasing at some point, it’s not all about today and her pedigree certainly isn’t, we’re trying to buy chasers of the future.”
Sadly Precious Man suffered a fatal injury. Despite receiving treatment immediately by the racecourse vets he could not be saved.
