Boardman CX (bike to work?) and the Genesis Vapour are the obvious options at that price point.

Carbon frame might be a tough call at that price point unless you go second hand.

Planet x are doing a fair few cross bikes in that range if you look in their clearance area: http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/c/q/clearance_corner

Genesis croix de fer 7.5/10
Lappierre cyclo x 8//10
Revolution cross pro 7/10

Sensa fermo 8.5/10
Best in test was the Scott
"the scott performed flawlessly on ever terrain "

What on Earth is the Croix De Fer doing among that lot?

Quite a few people with big smiles, riding Croix de Fer at this year's 3PCX.
