We show that for the top mass range m(t) greater than or similar to 171.8 GeV the scenario robustly predicts the spectral index n(s) similar or equal to 0.97 and the tensor-to-scalar ratio r similar or equal to 0.003. The matching is however non-trivial, even the best-fit values m(h) = 125.09 GeV and m(t) = 173.21 GeV requir...
