(Always test suggestions not on your original files).

Define an action:  
Action type: Guess values  
Source format: %bpm%  
Guessing pattern: %dummy%[%bpm% %dummy%

It would be easier, if you could publish a text version of the contents of the bpm fields.

Perhaps a pattern like  
[%bpm% %dummy%  
is working ...

But it should work. At least it works if I test it with your examples from the screenshot.
