You may use

\b[0-9A-Z]{4}\s+(.+)

See the regex demo. Capturing group 1 will hold the value you need.

Details

  • \b - a word boundary
  • [0-9A-Z]{4} - four chars that are either uppercase letters or digits
  • \s+ - 1+ whitespaces
  • (.+) - Group 1: any one or more chars, other than line break chars, as many as possible.

As an answer to the comment, you may consider

^(?:\S+\s+){4}(.+)

See another regex demo. It matches

  • ^ - start of string
  • (?:\S+\s+){4} - four occurrences of 1+ non-whitespace chars followed with 1+ whitespace chars
  • (.+) - Group 1: any one or more chars, other than line break chars, as many as possible.
