Default Replace characters from cell values

Hi all

I would like to remove the number and dash from the cell values as
follows:

1 - Apples
2 - Oranges
3 - Bananas
etc

I can't use the MID function as is as the digit prefix can be more than
1 character. I was thinking of the REPLACE function but it doesn't
seem to accept a wildcard character (eg "* - ").

Any ideas appreciated.
