PowerQuery Split column on first space after an integer

Hi I am wanting to split a string of text based on an integer and using the first space following an integer. This is a sample of the data.

B F 3 Exceed And Excel
B G 5 Valixir(IRE)
B OR BR F 3 Teofilo(IRE)
BR OR BLK G 6 Fomalhaut(USA)

My desired result is 

Exceed And Excel
Valixir(IRE)
Teofilo(IRE)
Fomalhaut(USA)

I tried splitting on {"0".."9"} to represent any of an array of integers but that doesn't work. A little unsure of other tricks I could use.

 

Ideas?
