Are all the other gear changes OK? Any previous false neutrals while riding or gears grinding?

To test put some oil / WD40 or similar around the gear lever where it's at the footpeg and wiggle it about a bit. If it gets easier then you've found the issue and can strip and clean it.
If all else fails bring it round to mine and we'll sort it, but you should only need a 10mm spanner and a 6mm hex

cheers for the suggestions,
I will give this a go, it makes sense in theory as to why sometimes it shifts up.
