Update it, sending gift (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aptitude

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

'update it sending' is the wordplay.
'sending' is an anagram indicator (letters are sent to different positions).
'update'+'it'='updateit'
'updateit' anagrammed gives 'APTITUDE'.

(Other definitions for aptitude that I've seen before include "Update it, having a relevant talent" , "Flair" , "Natural gift" , "A natural talent or skill, for which there may be a test" , "Inherent ability, natural talent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
