My bonnet is stuck closed

I have a low milage 2006 Fiat Punto Active 1242cc with a jammed bonnet catch?. The bonnet cable release cable is ok in the car and you can hear it moving within the cable but it will not release the bonnet.
I have also taken off the front grill and can get up under the bonnet but it seems the catch is further in.

I have been searching the net to see if I could find any Fiat manufacture help but there does not seem to be any.

Better than the original Punto in almost every way. Excellent driving environment. Easy to get in and out of. Practical and inexpensive to run.
