It's good to be proactive, if this is the extent of your grassweed problem you are clearly doing something right!

Looks suspiciously like Awned Canary Grass. If stem base pink and sap is pink from the base then it certainly is

1 patch in corner of field that wasn't there last year 
will be about 30m x 10m, topped out now with flail and it will get a good dose of round up when it greens up again

Canary grass has a bulb shaped top not a long slender top.
I think that’s Timothy in the OP.
Can blackgrass have a red colour, also known as meadow foxtail, or is that a different grass entirely?

The OP looks like Timothy to me. Canary grass is a relatively common weed over here now and it looks quite different as you say.
Meadow Foxtail looks v like Blackgrass and is closely related to BG but it is a different grass.

Black-grass is slender foxtail, meadow foxtail heads are plumper but not as much as the pic so timothy a better bet.

This is canary grass where my mate unfolded his drill before starting on my spring barley.
