Stuck again. This seemed to be over the hump, but I can't for the life of me see where to go next. Will some kind soul put an end to my misery? What am I missing this time?

One way forward is to chase the 6s.

In b2 and b3 the 6s occupy rows 1 and 2 so that in b1 6 occupies row 3. This means it falls into column 1 or column 2. But the same applies to the 6 in b4. So the 6 in b7 lies in column 3 and there is only one place for it: r8c3.

Steve, in your response to Nenthorn, you say : " But the same applies to the 6 in b 4". Will you explain to me how I do this?. Thanks in advance.

I believe he means:

The 6's in B2 and B3 are not in R3. So, the 6 in B1 is in R3, which means it is not in C3. So, the 6 in C3 must be in R8, if it is not in B1.
