Squares R2C3<569>, R6C3<59> and R9C3<569> in column 3 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <569>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R3C3 - removing <56> from <1456> leaving <14>

R8C3 - removing <69> from <1469> leaving <14>
