Indeed it looks like the 5yos have lost their 5lb allowance, even though the 5yo mare Kruguyrova, who finished runner-up last year, kept her 7lb mare’s allowance (as you say).
Previously Voy Por Ustedes (11 2), for example, got 5lbs when winning this from Monet’s Garden (11 7).
Without the 5lb Tatenen obviously has got more on his plate. So going back to my original statement I was indeed “missing something”. Thanks for identifying what that something was (...in time) and putting me right Grasshopper... the 5yos are unlikely to have such a good record in the race from now on. Thinking back, this was probably done to counter the success of young French imports.
