Strip numbers folder names

I'm struggling to create a rule to strip numbers (followed by a space) from the start of a folder name, leaving the rest of the name intact.
Selecting the folders is easy, but the latter part is a struggle.
Advice please!

Look up match patterns in the manual. Using those, you can set up a pattern with a custom attribute followed by a space and a number token. The custom attribute would be grabbing all the text that you want to keep, basically. You can then use that custom attribute in a Rename action.
