We investigate superconducting pairing tendencies of a two-dimensional electron fluid with both valley and spin degrees of freedom, both without and in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. We present suggestive theoretical arguments that spontaneous valley polarization can lead to exotic singlet superconducting tendencies, including pair-density-wave order at zero field and reentrant superconductivity at high field. We also find a reduced magnetic response in the polarized valley, which allows a finite violation of the Pauli limit. These results are obtained by a mean-field approach to a generalized t - J model on a triangular lattice and in the dilute limit. Phenomenological similarities to results of recent magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene experiments are noted.
