Abstract
We show that W H and Z H production where the Higgs boson decays to bbbar can be recovered as good search channels for the Standard Model Higgs at the Large Hadron Collider. This is done by requiring the Higgs to have high transverse momentum, and employing state-of-the-art jet reconstruction and decomposition techniques.
