Stockport sent out another message to their Sky Bet League Two promotion rivals with a routine 3-1 victory over Grimsby.
First-half goals from Antoni Sarcevic, Isaac Olaofe and Lewis Cass - on his Stockport debut - did the damage to keep the leaders four points clear at the top.
Grimsby winger Abo Eisa replied with a consolation.
Sarcevic opened the scoring for Stockport in the eighth minute when he latched on to a loose pass from Harvey Cartwright before keeping his cool and slotting past the onrushing Grimsby goalkeeper.
It was 2-0 six minutes later when Olaofe finished a sweeping breakaway move which also involved Nick Powell and Connor Lemonheigh-Evans.

Eisa offered Grimsby hope shortly after the restart when he netted from point-blank range from Charles Vernam's initial strike but, while they pushed and probed for the remainder, struggling Grimsby were unable to make any further inroads.
