You've got either a hidden pair or a naked triple in box 8. After that it's just singles.

Using Mandatory Pairs the grid reduced to the following (shewn after
the then necessary reversion to Candidate Profiles and without the
Mandatory Pair marks themselves being shewn).

Few of the rows or columns yielded congruent subsets. Those that
did were:

(12)(79) in col 5.
(126)(39) in col 7.
(12)(4679) in row 7

Solution was then progressed using the candidates - although the
already identified pairs proved useful in a a few cases.
