LAST week, we asked you to suggest a caption for this photo of MEP Nina Carberry in conversation with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Thanks to all who entered and gave us a good chuckle with your suggestions. Quite a few readers felt Nina was giving Ursula a Grand National tip and we especially liked “Will you just back I Am Maximus? 8/1 is a great price” from David Mullins in Kilmallock, and “He’s won, been second and is 17/2” from Chris Keene in Bray.

But the short-head winner was from Padraig Whelan in Tralee, whose winning entry is shown above.

Some merchandise from The Irish Field warehouse is on the way to all three.
