Wrexham strengthened their promotion bid with a comfortable 3-1 win at Grimsby.
Andy Cannon led the way with a first-half double and Paul Mullin also scored in a one-sided clash that moved Wrexham three points off top spot.
Substitute Arthur Gnahoua snatched a late consolation for the home side.

Tom O'Connor almost produced a carbon copy moments later, but a second goal did arrive through Cannon's tidy finish in the 36th minute.

Mullin grabbed a third in the 42nd minute with a left-footed snap-shot which left Grimsby goalkeeper Harvey Cartwright stranded.
With the damage already done, genuine chances were few and far between after the restart, before Gnahoua made his mark in a late cameo.
He cut inside and beat goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo with a left-footed drive, but the strike was too little, too late for Grimsby.
