Show us a title as the removal method depends a lot on the pattern in the data.  
But e.g. a  
Dancing in the streets (feat. David Bowie)  
could be dealt with an action of the type "Guess value" for %title"  
Pattern: %title% (feat. %dummy%

</div>

As I suggested:  
an action of the type "Guess value" for %title%"  
Pattern: %title% Feat. %dummy%

The pattern is case-sensitive.

Sorry to trouble you again but I now have another scenario

In the Artists Column is :- Cassius Ft Ryan Tedder

and I would like:- Ft Ryan Tedder taken out and looking through my albums I see that this is a frequently used format so a script would be very nice please

This works in a similar way.  
First, you may filter for these files:  
%artist% HAS _ft_  
where the \_ actually represents a space character that does not show properly in this forum.  
Then create an action of the type "Guess value" for source %artist%  
Pattern: %artist% Ft %dummy%
