After finishing third in a bumper in France in September 2023, he moved from trainer Francois Nicolle to Mullins for a staggering £235,000 later month. Mullins has been patient with the son of Tunis until now - where he unleashed him in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle over two miles.
Sent off 4-11 fav, Kiss Will got in a match with Gordon Elliott's Hello Jack before he waved the white flag approaching two out. Jockey Paul Townend barely moved as Kiss Will showed a rapid turn of foot to power home by 13 lengths from runner-up Costacurta.
