Some animals fancied each way at the start (1,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

a few

'some' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'animals fancied each way at the start' is the wordplay.
'at the start' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'animals fancied each way' is 'A FEW'.

(Other definitions for a few that I've seen before include "Certainly not many" , "Sundry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
