				I went the xyz-wing route initially, but having read JCs post, went back to look for a one stepper. This 2SL wing seems enough..
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  | w-wing(39) (9=3)r2c7 - r1c8=r1c4 - r8c4=r8c1 - (3=9)r9c1 ; r2c1<>9 | 	  
 
 
FWIW the same cells are also pincers of an almost-remote pair with fin (8)r7c7
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  | remotepair(39)[(39)r2c7=(39)r9c1] = (8)r7c7 - (8=9)r3c8 - (9=2)r3c6 - (2=39)r2c67 ; r2c1<>9 |

				As you say Danny - Interpretation at will..complete open season so here is...an ALS xz (almost!)
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  +-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
 
| 8     A15   129   | 139   7     4     | 6     12359 B19   | 
 
| A59+1 6     4     | 139   8     239   | 3-9   12359 7     | 
 
| 179   3     1279  | 5     6     29    | B89   1289  4     | 
 
+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
 
| 2     4     8     | 7     3     6     | 5     19    19    | 
 
| 157   15    17    | 4     9     8     | 2     6     3     | 
 
| 6     9     3     | 2     5     1     | 7     4     8     | 
 
+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
 
| 4     7     5     | 6     1     39    | 389   389   2     | 
 
| 139   8     19    | 39    2     5     | 4     7     6     | 
 
| 39    2     6     | 8     4     7     | 1     39    5     |

Set A = {1,5,9}
 
Set B = {1,8,9}
 
x = 1 (in r1c29)
 
z = 9 and so r2c7<>9*
 
 
However the 1 in r2c1 stops the restricted common but if it is true
 
 
(59=1)r2c1-(1=239)r2c46|r3c6-(39=1)r1c4-(1=9)r1c9; r2c7<>9*             
 
 
 
An alternative if you don't like ALS-xz's:
 
 
ANP (9=15)r1c2,r2c1-(1)r3c13=r3c8-(1=9)r1c9; r2c7<> 9*
 
 
 *solving the puzzle    |
