Of course, because for now, a join clause can't be estimated by extended 
statistics. It applies only to a scan filter (clause referencing only 
one relation).
I have meant that with the development patch [1] applied, you may create 
two statistics on t3(participant_identifier,programme_identifier) and 
t2(participant_identifier,programme_identifier). These statistics would 
then be used to estimate the join clause and may resolve the problem.
