Regex Trim everything before special character

Bobbins
8 - Asteroid

Morning,

A simple one which despite searching still isn't easily found. I want to regex trim everything upto and including the *. E.g.

 

Field1
Lots of *Gobblegook
*Heretoo
Maybe not here

 

I have this:

[code].*(\*)[/code[ which on Regex101 does highlight everything upto the *, but then i am stuck!

Thank you

REGEX_Replace([Field1], '.*\*(.+)', '$1')
