I think it is very unlikely that Mathieu van der Poel would not race at Hoogerheide, provided he intends to race cyclo-cross this season. Hoogerheide is the GP Adrie van der Poel (Mathieu's dad) and effectively Mathieu's home race.
As for Hamme, a few top favourites missing that race is perhaps more likely. A double Cyclo-Cross World Cup weekend the weekend before the World Championships might be too much for some riders seeking to peak for Oostende. But outside of the top favourites, valuable points will be on offer and perhaps a little easier to collect.
I think the weeks before the World Champs would be a good period to be at races. More international riders will be competing, swelling the fields. Although this wasn't what you asked about.
See you in Oostende! 🌈🇧🇪

A4. To answer my own question, my cycling stickers aren't on my bike. I put them on my toolbox (of bike tools). Some are quite old.
Amongst those in photo 1, the 'Giant' sticker came from a mountain bike magazine sticker set and must be ancient. 'Noah's' is a long gone LBS, Noah's Ark, that used to be near Stroud in Gloucestershire. 'TF Tuned' is the company that used to service my #MTB suspension forks.
Amongst those in photo 2, '889' is my helmet sticker/race number from a 24 hour mountain bike race called Mountain Mayhem. It is from 2003, the second year I raced Mountain Mayhem. I was told stickers should not be put on helmets and so I didn't use it in the race and 22 years later it is still on my toolbox. The 'Saab Salomon' sticker in photo 1 is from the sponsors of the event.
Finally, in photo 3 is a sticker for the Cyclo-Cross World Championships, held in Louisville, Kentucky (USA). I did not go, but I do go to lots of Cyclo-Cross World Championships in Europe and in 2012 at #Koksijde, Belgium, the following year's event was being promoted, including by handing out stickers.
