I think Hocker is gonna be good enough to challenge him, but honestly Jakob is looking so good right now, he might still be able to outrun Hocker (and the rest) from the front if he goes out a little bit slower.
People have been saying the same thing every year since 2021. And every year, someone else has peaked better than him and ran a smarter race in the big event. Maybe this year he manages to win the 1500 in the way that he wants to, but I'm not betting my house in him just yet
