Specialist polymer maker Victrex tumbled as it said second-half underlying profits could be at a "broadly similar" level to the first as it continued to see a weaker-than-expected performance at its medical division, production issues at its new China plant and currency headwinds.

"Overall Q3 trading saw continued volume momentum, offset by a softer than expected performance in medical and further adverse sales mix within sustainable solutions," said CEO Jakob Sigurdsson.

Close Brothers was the top performer ahead of the motor finance ruling, which is due at some point this month.
