White to move. How should White proceed?

1. Rxf7+ Kxf7
2. Qd7 K move down
3. Rc7 and the game is over.
or 1. Rxf7+ K move some other place
2. Qd7 and the game is over also.
RxF7+ correct?
Ra7
Rxf7 before Ra7 because …Kxf7 leads to mate.
Rxf7+
I don’t see how Black can survive
1.Rxf7+. Not taking the Rook fails to 2.Qd7; and taking the Rook fails either to 2.Qd7+ followed by 3.Rc7, or 2.Rc7+ followed by 3.Qd7. Phil
Rxe7+
Rxf7 followed by Qd7 and Rc7 and mate will be impossible to prevent.
Rxf7+
Kxf7
Rc7+
Kg8
Qd7 following mate
1.RxP+!!,KxR;2.Qd7+..then Rc7 follows for mating.
1.RxP+!!,KxR;2.Qd7+..then Rc7 follows for mating attack…
Rxf7+ Then move the Queen to Qd7+ & Support it with the rock Rc7 to go for the mate
1.Rxf7+ Kxf7
2.Qd7+ Kf8
3.Rc7 ..
4.Qf7#
1. Rxf7+ Kf7
2. Rc7+ Kf8
3. Qd7 and mate next move
1.Rxf7+ Kxf7 2. Qd7+ K~ 3. Rc7
1.Rxf7+ Kxf7 2.Qd7+ K~ 3.Rc7
Rxf7+
