Wanting best from Handel? It is magical (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elitism

'wanting best' is the definition.
(wanting only elite things or people)

'from handel? it is magical' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'ELITISM' is hidden in the letters of 'handel it is magical'.

(Other definitions for elitism that I've seen before include "favouring the top people" , "Advocacy of select group" , "lapping up the cream" , "goverment by chosen group" , "Practice of favouring the best people" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
