Locally, options were either Yamalube (Yamaha own brand) or Putoline. Couldn't find much info about the technical specs of the Yamalube and the Putoline 'Light Fork Oil' is mineral based. Neither seemed suitable/
Instead I've ordered a litre of Motul Factory Line fork oil, in 5w. Wanted something thinner than stock as I tend to run my forks fully wound out on the dampers. As per Marzoccchi's specs, this is 100% synthetic. The alternative and cheaper Motul Expert oil is a blend and not fully synthetic.
Factory line oil was £13.45 delivered from Ebay if anyone is interested.
Replying to an earlier post, I too tried Motorex in the past in their 10w and found this too thick for my liking.
It pays to check the oil spec sheets carefully to compare mm²/s values.
