Best spray for ragwort?

I have just taken on a field that is quite weedy in places, particularly ragwort. Would anyone be able to recommend a herbicide that is effective against ragwort. Some plants are beginning to get taller, i. e. not at the rosette stage, thanks Angus.
 
Forefront, had a field done a couple of year ago that had so much yellow you could mistake it for OSR from a distance. Been ragwort free since.

Yes it could be. It was not the original plan. Ideally spraying would be the easiest and most sensible, but if it is too late to do now then topping or grazig and starting again would work, Angus.

Not a herbicide but hard to beat some sheep for ragwort control. 2.4D and a bit of mcpa will get them at the rosette stage. Might need to spray 2 years in a row for good wipeout.
