Thanks for pronto reply Danny - I wonder if the "13" after your name is your age?! if so I'm put to shame when at 79yrs I can't solve the clues!
Thanks anyway - you're a genius

[dannyk13]

To get my age you'll have to add 71 to the 13.

I'm sure your answer is right, dannyk13, but how does the clue work, please?

I can see a partial anagram of Formulaic, but run out of ideas after that.

Thanks.
