To me appears close to images and references at Galium verum subsp. verum 
Looks different from images and references at Galium aparine L.

Both a extremely common weeds in UK.
I still stand by  my  id  of Galium aparine...sorry!

Galium aparine is easy to tell...
 Quote..."Easily told from other Bedstraw species by very rough feel - clings to clothing.  It clings like Velcro.

Galium verum I know equally well .....common name Bedstraw .
I do not believe it is a match.
The leaves are much finer.

     Quote....  "If no flowers, can be told from other Bedstraws by leaves having downturned margins.

Other features: Stems have no prickles on angles.  Leaves dark green above, pale beneath."

See my images below showing the pale underside and downturned margins.
