1.c7 with the idea 2.Rh5 Kg7 3.Rc5
I am sorry I couldn’t understand how 1 .. Rxc7 is prevented.
1 Ra6 looks attractive to me.
1 .. Kg5 is ruled out, and white has moves like Nd5 and Ne7, apart from advancing the c pawn. I do not have a rigorous analysis though.
1.Rh5 Kg7
2.Rc5
If Black takes the Knight will check an take back the Bisshop or Rook
