Not sure about this one. I originally thought Cleavers but now I think it looks more like an Asperula sp.. I can wait until it flowers.

If it is Cleavers (Galium murale) the stems should have at least a few backwards pointing prickles. You can test this by putting a piece of cloth on the stems and gently pulling it upwards. The prickles will catch on the cloth.
