Do better than (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

upstage

outplay

(Other definitions for upstage that I've seen before include "(Of actor) away from the audience" , "Pugs eat (anag.)" , "Divert attention from another as actor might in play" , "Take the limelight from" , "moved away from the audience" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The Guardian and The Sun.
