What Forks?

Dear all,
I'm building up a Giant XCT Advanced frame frame from 2009 and want to fix some rigid forks. I'm unsure of the length and rake I should be looking for! The original stats can be found here https://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/B...l=XtC+Advanced
and the Forks I'm thinking of buying here

Any advice gratefully received.
