Vault item is strangely exciting (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stimulative

'exciting' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'vault item is strangely' is the wordplay.
'strangely' is an anagram indicator.
'vault'+'item'+'is'='vaultitemis'
'vaultitemis' is an anagram of 'STIMULATIVE'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
