Advice for a newbie: Which entry-level XC forks?

Just getting back in biking after a 15 year hiatus. My Orange Clockwork had rigid forks so I'm not up to speed on current suspension forks. I've picked up a Claude Butler bike, from a friend, with reasonable spec. (Mavix, LX/XTR, Ritchey). However, forks are RS Indy XC which feel spongy; had a quick browse of a few internet sites and I think they need to go.
I'll be riding general XC, nothing too hard to start with so I'm after a suitable fork. Don't want to spend any more than œ150 if possible. Oh, and no discs.
Many thanks,
Nick

Thanks for this.
The Tora 302 has V-brake mounts. Are the Marzocchi forks worth the œ20 or so extra?

the tora 302 air with remote pop lock will do the job well, (the air version at 85mm).
