Passing HTML Attributes into EditorFor in MVC 3

I want to pass a @class = attribute into one of my EditorFor() calls. Something like this:

<%= Html.EditorFor(model => model.Name, new { @class = "myclass" }) %>

I cannot find an EditorFor() method signature that supports this.

This is a one-off so I don't want to dig deep and get into templates, etc.
How do I do this?

Is there any reason you can't use TextBoxFor()? Or any of the other specific HTML Helpers? They have overloads for HTML attributes.

There is no overload for EditorFor that takes this kind of argument...
