Favouring the most able (7)

I believe the answer is:

elitist

(Other definitions for elitist that I've seen before include "Favouring high society" , "Looking down on others" , "One feeling superior" , "one snobbishly prefers" , "One who believes that certain people are superior" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
