I'd be wary of relying on any type of lock just going through the bent bars of the bike rack as they look easy to bolt-crop or hacksaw. I'd certainly put something around one of the more structural horizontals of the stand. The lower horizontal may be impractical because of the woodwork behind it so there may not be enough room to get anything worthwhile around that.
Beware that large D-locks are most vulnerable to twisting and jacking attacks.
For me, a decent chain would be the best solution here by far as you can go through even the upper horizontal if you have to and then the same chain goes through the frame and potentially one or more wheel(s) as well. It's much easier to lock a bike the right way up in those frame, IMHO, too. However, I'd still be wary of clearance behind those horizontals as a chain that will provide a good deterrent will be quite bulky.
I hope that helps.

yeah, I think you're right, that is the best way. I'll get hold of a second large U lock then.
Thanks for the help!
