Better, superior (12)

I believe the answer is:

preferential

(Other definitions for preferential that I've seen before include "Discriminating in favour of someone or something" , "Favoured" , "Discriminating in favour of (someone/something)" , "Involving partiality" , "Discriminating in favour of one side" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
