Entirely dependant on stacks and stage of tournament of course, and could vary greatly, but in this particular hand:

CB on the flop is ok in my opinion - maybe make it just more than half pot as I feel some player psychologically feel the need to float half pot bets with hands like A high (which is what you want really if you can decipher it - but can put you in tricky spots if you are oop).

Thinking on it more, it really depends on if you are comfortable barrelling 2 and 3 times though. If you just like to CB the flop and preserve chips in later streets, then I make the flop CB bigger.

If you are capable of barreling 2 or 3 times, half pot bet is fine imo, that leaves a little more chips for turn where opponants are most likely to fold floating hands or straight draws (imo) so fire about 585-665 on the turn. That bet should get any 6 or unflushing straight draws off imo due to the stacks. It will also put UTG+1 on the back foot for the river and he will most likely check if he calls turn bet. Any K would still most likely call your turn bet so in that instance you are beat and would give up the river unless you hit an A (in which case check call imo) or you hit your spade - which I would bet out on if UTG+1 checks obviously.
