An opportunity to vault into the Epsom Handicap field is behind Greg Eurell's decision to start Your Honour in Saturday's Sebring Sprint at Rosehill.

Eurell paid up for the lightly-raced Your Honour and stablemate Hosting in both the Group Two feature and a 1400m benchmark race on the same program.

After the declaration of fields and barriers on Wednesday, Eurell has decided to split his pair and Your Honour will be given his first test in stakes grade in the Sebring Sprint (1400m).

"It's certainly a very tough race for him but it will give us a clear idea where he's at and where he's going," Eurell said.

"Basically, the reason we targeted this race was that if the horse is going good enough it will help push his rating up and hopefully get into some better races.

"If he was able to win the race, I think the winner is exempt from the ballot for the Epsom. That would certainly be a race we'd have in mind if he proved himself this weekend."

Your Honour won his first four starts in succession on the country and provincial circuits in Victoria.

He resumed from a lengthy spell with a slashing effort at Sandown when he came from last in a field of 16 to finish fourth to Hosting over 1200m.

Hosting is a two-time placegetter at black-type level and he will make his Sydney debut in the TAB.com.au Handicap (1400m).

Although Eurell decided against starting Hosting in the Sebring, he has not ruled out stepping him up in grade later in the carnival.

"We'd just like to keep his confidence up and run well again and then we might be looking at something a bit stronger from there," he said.
