 Dear Skt:
 I don't know if you already have this, but can be very handy:
 https://pianoforum.net/Graded_Pieces_All.xls

 Also, I suggest that you look the list of the ABSRM themselves:
 https://www.abrsm.org/resources/allPiano0506.pdf (2005/2006)
 https://www.abrsm.org/resources/pianoComplete0608.pdf (2007/2008)

 Finally, some personal suggestions:
 - several english Renaissance works (Byrd et alli);
 - Couperin, F.: Les Folies Francaises (from Ordre 13);
 - Bach, J.S.: have you ever played some WTC? Maybe, that's the time.
 - Bach, C.P.E.: Sonata wq 62/16 (that's the one I love the most. There are another choices among his Kenner und Liebhabe works);

 - Mozart: Fantasia K. 397 (well, do you manage fast scales and arpeggi? Then, go deep...);
 - Beethoven: movements from Sonatas (specially from opus 2, opus 10 and opus 14: not the complete sonatas, just some parts) or Bagatelles;
 - Chopin and Schumann and Brahms and Liszt: endless choice. Just don't kill yourself with something too hard;
 - Macdowell: New England Idylls opus 62 (selections; again, a personal favorite. In his other cycles there are another possibilities);
 - Scriabin, A.: Trois Morceaux opus 3

 - Villa-Lobos, H.: Cirandas (selections);
 - Turina: Cinco Danzas Gitanas opus 55;
 - other pieces by: Granados (Danzas Espaņolas), Dvorak (Humroesques opus 101), Tchaikovsky (The Seasons), Arensky (Pieces opus 36), Schoenberg (Klavierstucke opus 19), Ravel, Poulenc (Improvisations), Honegger (Prelude Arioso et Fughetta), Auric (Sonatine), Mompou, Bartok (Bagatelles opus 6), Shostakovich (Preludes opus 34).

 Notice, please, that by no means I suggest you to play an entire cycle of the forementioned. First, because most of them last too long; second, because there are very hard stuff side to side with the 6-7 graded ones. So, be careful and discrete!
 Hope that helps, and let me know what your repertoire will be!
 Best, and Happy New Year!
