MTB recommendation

I have a friend at work, alas no internet access, who's looking for a new
hardtail MTB. He's looked at a Marin Rocky Ridge (around £950) which he
seems to like, but doesn't know much about alternatives. Usage will be
trails, up to 30 miles, he's around 10 stones and not a spring chicken, and
will not be using it to jump off walls etc.

Any suggestions / recommendations in the same price bracket?

Cheers,
Chris
